Volvo’s Gift to the World
In 1959, engineer Nils Bohlin created the three-point safety belt while working for Volvo. But get this, Volvo actually decided to give away the patent to the world. Talk about being generous! At first, other car companies were skeptical and thought the safety belt was just a fad.
But as the safety benefits became clear, other companies quickly jumped on board, saving millions of lives in the process. Now, we may never know what other amazing inventions are just waiting to be shared with the world, but one thing is for sure: we all owe Volvo and Nils Bohlin a debt of gratitude for making our roads a safer place.
