In the entire history of automobiles?

Mind boggling question!

Maybe Henry Ford-
invented modern industrial production line(& if he didn't invent it, he perfected it).
Made automobiles that were affordable to middle class.

In the whole industry - that's relatively easy; it would have to be Henry Ford.

The question says who IS, which I take means still currently in the Industry. Therefore I don't see how these historical figures apply.

The answer...I have no idea. But lets hope in a few years everyone will be talking about Mr. Dieter Zetsche.
