'In 1959, the Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin developed the modern three-point seat belt. Although the design was patented, the company decided the patent was to be left open, making it available to all vehicle manufacturers to use for free. '
Volvo is a great company to do this.

Thank goodness he did this. Awesome.
I had no idea of this history. So good to know.💗
I knew this and I'm glad they did
Well. Who knew?! It is such a lifesaver.
I remember cars that just had a lap belt.
I agree, Volvo is a great company to do this.
Didn't know this. I have never driven a Volvo but always fancied one. Good about making it available for all.
I recall the debate about seat belts.
Coffee is on and stay safe
No sabía eso, es genial. Te mando un beso.
I was on a seat belt committee when in grad school that was sponsored by the state of Kansas. However, even with all the research I conducted, and the tests I performed, I didn't know that about Volvo. Thanks for this informative post.
great story to read....
That is awesome!
Fascinating! And good for them sharing their invention. I will have to share this with my brother-in-law. He has driven Volvo’s for the last 30 years.
