John Deere did the exact same thing with rollover protection for tractors. Spent tons of money developing it and then gave it away along with the research to make it standard industry wide to help protect farmers everywhere in the world.
Unfortunately they didn't use the invention for the same reason the other manufactures didn't use them. They didn't want the consumer to think there vehicles to unsafe to drive.
IMO a number of “safety” features on the newer cars, like lane change alerts,backup cameras and emergency braking are there because people are not doing the BASICS of driving. They either weren’t taught or don’t care. All of these features just aid them to be less attentive and worst drivers!

And once they rely on the new safety features, they will forget how to do it themselves. However, their licence will not prevent them driving cars without such features.
@@briansomething5987 if the vast majority of people are making mistakes driving a three to four thousand pound vehicle, they shouldn’t be driving. Anyone can make a mistake once in a while but if you have to have something to notify you that you have it no longer is a mistake it becomes a habit. If the people now days need all these safety features how did those of us manage to survive all the years of driving without them?? We paid attention to driving the vehicle!!! You sound like one of the numerous drivers I’ve seen reading a book resting on the steering wheel, or going through paperwork on the seat, or holding their cell phone up to their ear instead of using a hands free device, or texting, or eating, or looking over at the person in the passenger seat while talking to them, or making a right hand turn across three lanes of traffic,or driving below the speed limit until they are almost to an intersection, because they are messing with their phone, and then the light turns yellow and they have more than enough time to stop but instead they floor it and don’t even enter the intersection before the light is Red but fly right through. These are not mistakes these are STUPIDITY. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard of someone backing over something or God forbid a child I could retire. If you aren’t absolutely positive the area behind your car is clear and safe get out and check! Or is that too much trouble to prevent killing an innocent child? Before turn signals people had to roll down a manual crank window and stick out their arm to indicate a turn. They did this religiously no matter the weather conditions. Rain,snow,-10 below because you would get a ticket if you didn’t. Now days we have a lever along side the steering wheel that requires 3-4 ounces to move it to indicate a turn and people won’t even use it. That’s pure laziness or don’t even care, that’s not a mistake. FYI you are supposed to indicate a turning long before applying the brakes to allow the vehicle behind you to slow or apply their brakes safely also. Waiting to the last second to turn on your signal and applying the brakes at the same time is not a mistake. It is either incorrect teaching, or don’t even care. I could go on for ever but I feel I’ve given enough examples of peoples terrible driving. If one pays attention to and TRIES to drive correctly, and doesn’t rationalize it by saying oops I made a mistake when they know it wasn’t we would all be SAFER.
The worst, is how TV and movies portray drivers continuously taking their eyes off the road while talking to the passengers in the car.

When you are driving 100% of your attention is required to control the car safety and correctly. If you are doing ANYTHING else you’re trying to have an accident. When I took my driving test to get my first license I took it in a stick shift and the instructor asked you to turn on the radio or something to distract you. If you took your eyes off the road to do it you failed the test!!! Think about that the next time you are texting or dialing or looking up something on your cell phone, let alone the numerous other things people do when driving.

A lap belt saved my life in January 1973. It kept me from going through thr windshield when the car I was a passenger in was hit head on by a drunk driver! I’ve worn one every time in either driving or a passenger since thst day!
My parents bought their first car in 1967, at that time in the Netherlands seat belts were not (at all) mandatory and (new) cars usually didn't have them. So they had them "installed" - and they were lap belts. Not as good as three point seat belts that would become the norm several years later, but as they say, at least they prevented you from being propelled out of your car. Seat belts became mandatory in June 1975: either lap or three point. BTW until the oil crisis of 1973 there was no maximum speed limit on the Dutch highways, but of course most cars didn't go much faster than a bit over 100 km/h at that time. I remember in the seventies and early eighties that many people would only wear seat belt when they went on the highway (good plan).
Airliner seatbelts aren’t designed to restrain the passenger from flying forward in an impact; nothing is capable of that at airliner speeds. They are just to hold you down in case of violent turbulence. That’s why a lap belt is sufficient.
@@paulrichter2863 pedantic partial knowledge will get you nowhere. And airplane lap belt assume you are in bracing position when crash landing. lap/self locking 3 points/4 points harness/5 points harness all have their pros and cons for every vehicle and every kind of accident.
in the USA, lap belts were mandated Jan 1st 1969. By that time, most imports came standard with belts and 3 point was showing up on Volvo and VW a few years earlier. VW had headrests in the bug starting in 1968. My 64 Chevy has threaded holes in the floor for the optional lap belts.
I was born in the late sixties. I still remember as a kid running around in the backseat and hanging halfway out the window as my father would drive. Nobody wore a seatbelt. They had this one design that the seat belt folded up that you had to do and I had two metal clips that held it in place when not in use. Out of all the things you showed I honestly wish somebody could figure out how to make that steering wheel go to the side. Since I broke my back some years back it's difficult to get in and out of the car. So most of the time I have to be driven. If I could move the steering wheel out of my way I would have a much easier time getting out on the driver side.
Can anyone name a single manufacturer that offered them? Wrist twist never saw production. Most of the bumper impact clips were production shock-absorber type bumpers. Water balloon type bumpers would be prone to freezing. My Dad's Opel Kadett was recalled due to insufficient windshield retainer clips. His response? "I'd rather go out behind the windshield than through it."
Jeeps and other military vehicles used to have pop-out windshield and fold down windshields so troops could fire weapons from the front seats. I saw a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle that had all windows converted to pop-out windows except for the doors at the 2019 Dade City Bug Jam in Dade City, Florida.
VW's hinged windshield was completely different than the Tucker Pop Out Windshield - different purpose altogether. 😮 Too many "features" on today's cars are just crutches to help those who refuse to actually learn how to DRIVE. ABS brakes tops the list. Back in the day we learned to modulate the brakes ourselves. 😮
This video makes it sound like all of these features were a deliberate choice to make things dangerous. Propeller cars excepted they were pretty much just the state of design of cars at that time. Ford offered seat belts in the 1950s and they became the butt of jokes like "Don't trust your own driving?" and they dropped the option. And all modern cars feature a pop out windshield similar to Tucker's to minimize head trauma in the event of colliding with the windshield, including decapitation, which can occur when the windshield is fixed tightly in place. As the head impacts the glass it punches a hole in the windshield which tended to form a flexible sheet due to the laminate inside, then when the body fell back this glass would return somewhat to it's original shape closing around the neck, cutting the head off. Hitting the windshield is still going to do you some serious damage but it's more survivable than the old way.
I had swing away steering in a Thunderbird and it never malfunctioned. I bet people with large guts were manually unlocking them and then had a mishap.
when my dad and mom was dating they got into an accident with another car my dad held the steering wheel so hard he bent it around the column to keep from getting impaled
The neck belts were actually ingenious because drivers were so concerned about being choked or decapitated that they were proven to drive extremely carefully as a result.
For the lap belts, they were actually standard for the rear seat in a lot of cars and only until the late 80's early 90's did shoulder belts for rear occupants become a thing. They're obviously mandatory now for all passsengers (except maybe middle occupants where they may still be optional) but it took that long for them to be put into cars standard for the rear seat (although I think that they are not technically mandatory even today for rear occupants). I remember having a few 80's vehicles that didn't have rear shoulder belts. although any car that DOESN'T have rear shulder bvelts is likely to fail the highway safety board's testing because that is one metric they are putting emphasis on (rear occupant safety).
Most of these were not in general use, though metal dashboards and rigid steering columns were once very common, and headrests and shoulder belts did not come into use until the 70s. My father's car had a swing-away steering wheel.
10:54 In the UK lap seat belts were the first type of seat belts that were a legal requirement and were obviously better than no straps at all. Lap and diagonal followed them (3 point) and then seat belts in the rear after that. It was years later before it actually became the law to wear a seatbelt.
While modern safety features are great, if people learned to respect the automobile and the dangers inherent in accidents they would probably drive more safely and there would be fewer accidents. Most accidents are caused by people with the false conviction that they won’t be injured in an accident because they drive an SUV or that other drivers should give way for them because they are in a hurry. Don’t get me started on the infotainment systems on newer cars that take driver’s concentration off the road as well as cellphone usage.
When I was a kid in the '80s the family car, which was a Pontiac station wagon (I think it was a Safari but I'm not sure) had the three point seatbelts in the front for the driver and front passenger, but those riding in the back seat aka the kids had only the lap belts to keep them from going through the windshield. My family had two station wagons during that decade both Pontiacs and the first one also had the vinyl seats which got burn your A$$ hot in the summer if the car was out in the sun and you were wearing shorts when you sat on them.
The bare metal dashboard might also have chrome-plated metal logos attached. My mom stopped her 1954 Ford suddenly and my brother got V8 stamped on his forehead. My parents complained to Ford and the '57 had lost the logo, but the steel dashboard was still there. The first car they had with a padded dash was their 1964 Plymouth Valiant. The padding, as I recall, was optional. Then their '67 Jaguar had a wooden dash, no padding. Before collapsible steering columns, for a few years dished steering wheels (see 10:00) were tried, which was an improvement, moving the end of the steering column a few inches farther from the driver, but nowhere near enough. The water bumper actually seemed like a good idea, and in low-speed fender-benders, actually worked, and they could be re-loaded with a hose, but they were heavy, slowing acceleration, and worse, steering. Lap belts, while inadequate, were considerably better than nothing, keeping the driver or passenger from being thrown out of the car. But people often WOULDN'T USE THEM, or the lap-and-shoulder belts that followed, believing it was better to be thrown out onto the road into traffic than to be kept inside in the event of fire or falling into a lake.
Metal dashboards are perfectly fine. I have an old Chevy army cargo truck without airbags and it does just fine. Perhaps if folks learned to actually drive instead of playing on phones or tuning the radio. Maybe we’d wouldn’t have accidents. And the pop out windshields the army used them for years until the 2000s if I’m thinking correctly. The Chevy army truck doesn’t have headrests and I prefer without headrests. I have had headrests in trucks and they are dumb and pointless because the they just point your head and neck downwards. Ya that’s real comfortable. Everyone I’ve talked to has removed these damn headrests including my parents. We bought a brand new Dodge Dakota this is in the early 2000s and those headrests were complete garbage. They just hurt your neck making it very very hard to drive safely. I personally hate modern cars. I sold all of mine and replaced them with old army trucks. At least that way some hacker can’t remotely shut my truck off or be tracked and spied on. More reliable to. My new trucks and cars were constantly broken down and surprise surprise switching back to the old reliable ones the breakdowns stopped. I even did this for my business. I have a dump truck hauling business and all my trucks are old like 40+ years old and older and I have the lowest cost to keep them running and repaired vs companies with brand new trucks. Of course no ac, no antilock brakes, no air bags, lap seat belts, no overdrive, only safety features are a horn and a lap seat belt, and steel cabs. Durable and reliable vs modern “safety” garbage.
Thank you! I firmly believe that people must read the driver’s manual enough to pass the test in any state and then forget everything! Turn signals were in cars in the 40s but people just don’t grasp how to use them today! Driver’s Ed was a mandatory semester class when I was in high school and it also,got parents a deal,on insurance - I doubt that any new drivers in the last 20-30 years or so were even taught anything!
I have had the same experience lately with modern cars (including one that spontaneously caught fire!), and have reverted to using my 1970 Morris Minor Traveller, a very simple, 'no-frills' car but one that gets the job done with minimal fuss and problems. It's lightweight and quite fun to drive too.
@@FMFGUF I had a 2018 ram 2500 with a Cummins and that trucks was always stuck due to way to many computer controls emission systems problems reliable issues only only made 6 mpg. Now i understand it’s a truck and it’s not going to make 20 mpg like a smaller truck or suv. But 6? I sold that for a 1984 Chevy cucv army truck with a 6.2 Detroit diesel engine and th400 transmission. This truck makes 25 mpg on highway and has never ever broke down and I have had it for about 4 years it’s stupid simple, stupid reliable and just keeps going and going only payed 4000 for it. Newer vehicles are just a waste of cash imo
There are still so many fools that think that lap only seat belts are cool. The internal organ damage caused by the lap belt design is horrific and in many cases these belts are worse than no belt at all. Those original lap belts are now so old that they should be due for replacement anyway so there is no excuse for not fitting a three point belt.
I'm a classic car guy. I've never seen or heard of "neck seatbelts". The first seatbelts were lap belts. Shoulder belts were added later. Never heard of a "wrist twist" steering system either. Don't know where you got this stuff. I have heard of propeller driven cars, but they were strictly homemade. Some foreign cars did have pop up windshields, namely Volkswagen. They were there for ventilation, and didn't open all the way. And remember, Jeeps had fold down windshields for a long time. All cars and trucks had metal dashboards well into the '60s. I own three cars with metal dashboards. The super hard plastic they started putting on dashboards was no better. And unlike metal, they cracked like crazy from the sun. Airbags are a terrible idea. Many people have been killed and seriously injured by them. I have removed them from the one car I have that had them. I don't want my face inches away from a bomb. Four of my cars have "low back" seats. Unlike airbags, headrests were a good idea, but I'm not going to ruin the looks of my classic cars with them. Only one of my cars has a collapsable steering column. Big deal. There has never been any such thing as water balloon bumpers. Modern cars don't even have bumpers. Swing away steering wheels did exist, but there were almost no problems with them. They were just something that never caught on, like tilt and telescopic steering wheels. Three of my cars have lap belts only, and one doesn't even have seat belts. You sound like someone that should probably be spending the rest of your worthless life in a sterilized padded room, so there is no chance of you being injured.
Sorry but, I had one of the first collapsible steering columns in a 1967 Pontiac Lemans. My wife had a drivers side accident and it was not properly fixed by a bodyman. A year later I was driving home at night and the steering was gone. A bearing broke at the firewall and the bodyman didn’t repair it and it cut the steering column at the firewall. Luckily I stopped the car and no one was hurt. My 1966 Chevelle had lap belts and saved me from 2 rear end collisions, I walked away from both, I was 21 years old. In 1998 I was in a 35 MPH head-on collision, sitting in the front passenger seat with a 3 point seat belt, like in todays cars, and my head hit the windshield (just touching it), my knee broke the dash, and the seat belt crushed my chest. This was a 1992 Geo Storm, 4 door. I couldn’t get out of the car, the firemen took me out. I was checked in the emergency room and stayed in the hospital one day, nothing was broken. Four days later the middle of my chest, turned back and blue and it was the shape of a football. I needed help to sit and stand and going into bed and getting up, I was home for 6 weeks. I was 52 years old. No one talks about seat belt bodily damage in car accidents, and they do damage, and deaths.😮
My first car was a 1972 beetle and I hit a car so hard in the rear it bent the roof at the front of that car and dented the tank of the beetle I was driving and believe it or not after I pulled the metal away from the wheels I drove home in that car and it didn't catch on fire. The spare wheel in the front absorbed a lot and that wrapped round the torsion bar tubes which are incredibly strong.
Unfortunately seat belts weren't included in cars from the manufactures until state laws made them mandatory, then if I believe right it was the dealers responsibility to install the seat belts. The manufacture would have the mounting points in the floor of the body. It was only lap belts that were required. The 3 point didn't become standard until 1968 when the feds finally mandated them. Still took almost 20 years before laws were enacted for seat belt use
in the USA, lap belts were mandated Jan 1st 1969. By that time, most imports came standard with belts and 3 point was showing up on Volvo and VW a few years earlier. VW had headrests in the bug starting in 1968.
Many of the safety features were only put in by American automakers after the Federal government mandated them: head rests, three-point safety belts, side marker lights, bumpers which could survive a low-speed impact (not water-filled - that was a dumb idea). Lee Iacocca was famous for saying that you can't sell safety.
However a few decades later at Chrysler Iacocca made driver side airbags standard when Chrysler needed a boost in sales. (Not on the Mitsubishi sourced vehicles.) Even the 1990 Omni and Horizon, in their last year of production, got airbags.
It’s a real shame that the big auto manufacturers drove Tucker out - I’ve seen 3 in a museum many years ago and they were really nice! Loved the design!
Came back Stateside from Germany in 1956 and bought a new 1956 Ford with the optional safety package in New York City before we headed for Oklahoma. Padded dash and steering wheel, lap belts in the front seat. May have included some other safety features that I've forgotten Ford sold very few of them, so they dropped the option for a while.
My Dad was a Dodge salesman in 1956 and he used to say if they got a wrecked Dodge Car back in the shop that they would just Hose off The Dash and sell it to someone else~!!! P.S. I liked and subscribed=I enjoyed the video~!
They didn't show the Tucker's pop out windshield. Not the same as what they are showing. Tuckers had a padded dashboard in 1948. If Tucker had his way there would have been disc brakes, seatbelts and fuel injection. Plus more that ideas that are in our card now. His corporate executives said that safety didn't sell. Just like the big 3's bean counters. 1974 was the first year that 3 point seatbelts were mandated for the front seats only! Headrests in 1969, front only. Nader's book, 'Unsafe At Any Speed' about all cars not just the Corvair. In the end it was no worse than the rest.
My first car, a 1960 Chevy Bel Air, had an all metal dash and after market lap belts (front seat only); even the radio had vacuum tubes in it. And it was fun to drive.
Um kid they we used what we had available. The 3 point belt was on the piller & could be rolled up out of the way. And half the cars u showed regarding the water bumpers the front bumpers was designed to give as well as the grill or nose of that Pontiac cone did
Revisionist history. First thing to know is that a number of these "features" were just how cars were built at the time. No headrests? Well, at the least, you could see out the back. I don't know how many lane-change accident have been caused by headrests, but it ain't zero. Lap-only belts? Good enough for airliners, even today. And the first shoulder harnesses were a real PITA to use and store. Rigid steering columns? Well, do you want to maintain a sound connection to the steering gear? And here's a clue: the idea is NOT TO HAVE THE ACCIDENT TO BEGIN WITH. You were supposed to know how to drive. There are a number of cars from the 60s I'd be happy to drive today, assuming complete and timely maintenance. Near the top of the list: the Corvair. With the 4-carb engine and the 4-speed, you had a good handling car with decent performance and brakes better than most of the competition. You'd go in snow and be well equipped to stay out of accidents. Surprisingly good heater. Great mpg. A feature you should look up: The car with no brake pedal. IIRC, braking would be accomplished by a reduction in accelerator pressure. Google Popular Science "Out goes the brake pedal". Never got anywhere. Whew!
I’ve owned 2 Corvair in my life and I loved them - both stick shifts. I’m did keep a box of books in the front trunk though - helped to keep down the bounce😃😃. Sold my last one just before the oil embargo of 1973 - dumb move!!!
So how come they only have lap belts on aircraft? '74 & '87 cars with 5 mph steel bumpers protected the rest of the car body very well - compared to modern plastic bumpers that do nothing! The late 60's -'73 infinitely adjustable SEPARARE lap & shoulder belts are THE safest, since there's no auto tensioner/lockup to fail or jamb. New vehicles are MUCH more dangerous sitting in the back seat with very little overhang past the rear wheels these days. If any car espec a big one from the mid '70s hits a new vehicle hard in the back(most common type of accident), everyone is the back seat is dead meat. Also, exploding shrapnel from defective air bags have killed & severely injured people insdie modern vehicles. & the cat converter shield on my '76 chevette one day flew off & the 2000 degree cat burned the carpet inside! & last, of course, electric car batteries starting on fire by themselves & burning some homes as well if in an attached garage.
Airline lap belts are designed only to keep you from “floating” out of your seat in violent turbulence. No device in the world will save you from the crash impact at airliner speeds, so they aren’t designed for that.
Lap belts in aeroplanes are there to protect you from sudden drops in altitude if there's turbulence in the air, and to keep you steady during take-off and landing. The risk of a head-on collision in a plane is negligible, and the weight of the plane and padding on the seats in front will protect you in a survivable crash anyway. If the plane hits a mountain at 400mph you're going to be dead, whatever safety systems are in place.
People need to Understand Nothing becomes Perfect over Night .Im talking to you EV Critics It takes lots of tries and fails to Perfect something . EV Cars are still in the Infancy, With Time Battery Technology will get better
Good one,(1) And they still sell black lather jacket to motorcyclist so they are extra *oo&y harder to see in wet weather and or near sunrise, sunset. Come on, come on, release the clutch, engage the brain. I am sure the clothing industry could make heavy duty High Visibility motor cyclist jackets that does not flap around at high speed. (2) Someone should do a series to reduce inflation, e.g. "Ignoring road code rules to promote road accidents is inflationary". (3) I almost saw a accident happen as a pedestrian when motorist think the STOP signs and GIVE WAY signs have identical road code rules, Even the city bus drivers can not get their head around the difference with that road code rule. (4) Our city council has the following sign at the back of their vehicles "This drivers speed is been monitored." The trouble is, the font size is so small, if you are following it thinking 'Why is this vehicle going so slow,when everyone is going a bit faster' (over the speed limit) if you got closer to read the message and the vehicle suddenly stopped, sure as night follows day, you would run into the back of it, This message should be bigger and made available so more people could use it as bumper sticker to reduce accidents AND NOT CONTRIBUTE TO BOOST INFLATION.
I've stayed thru the first 3 "features", all of which have been pure misinformation if not outright falsehoods - the bull is getting snorkel deep so I'm going to bail this ludicrous channel further note: I'm am flooded that near 2% would actually subscribe - sure it's not .0002% ?

A lap belt saved my life in January 1973. It kept me from going through thr windshield when the car I was a passenger in was hit head on by a drunk driver! I’ve worn one every time in either driving or a passenger since thst day!
My parents bought their first car in 1967, at that time in the Netherlands seat belts were not (at all) mandatory and (new) cars usually didn't have them. So they had them "installed" - and they were lap belts. Not as good as three point seat belts that would become the norm several years later, but as they say, at least they prevented you from being propelled out of your car. Seat belts became mandatory in June 1975: either lap or three point. BTW until the oil crisis of 1973 there was no maximum speed limit on the Dutch highways, but of course most cars didn't go much faster than a bit over 100 km/h at that time. I remember in the seventies and early eighties that many people would only wear seat belt when they went on the highway (good plan).
Airliner seatbelts aren’t designed to restrain the passenger from flying forward in an impact; nothing is capable of that at airliner speeds. They are just to hold you down in case of violent turbulence. That’s why a lap belt is sufficient.
@@paulrichter2863 pedantic partial knowledge will get you nowhere. And airplane lap belt assume you are in bracing position when crash landing.
lap/self locking 3 points/4 points harness/5 points harness all have their pros and cons for every vehicle and every kind of accident.
in the USA, lap belts were mandated Jan 1st 1969. By that time, most imports came standard with belts and 3 point was showing up on Volvo and VW a few years earlier. VW had headrests in the bug starting in 1968. My 64 Chevy has threaded holes in the floor for the optional lap belts.
Anyone else delighted by the sight of those slender legs @10:48?
For sure! Her legs are amazing! Probably some of the nicest I've ever seen. I've seen that photo before and I think I have it saved in a folder.
I hardly noticed them. I was transfixed on the pointy boobs.
I was born in the late sixties. I still remember as a kid running around in the backseat and hanging halfway out the window as my father would drive. Nobody wore a seatbelt. They had this one design that the seat belt folded up that you had to do and I had two metal clips that held it in place when not in use.
Out of all the things you showed I honestly wish somebody could figure out how to make that steering wheel go to the side. Since I broke my back some years back it's difficult to get in and out of the car. So most of the time I have to be driven. If I could move the steering wheel out of my way I would have a much easier time getting out on the driver side.
Never saw a neck belt
Can anyone name a single manufacturer that offered them?
Wrist twist never saw production.
Most of the bumper impact clips were production shock-absorber type bumpers.
Water balloon type bumpers would be prone to freezing.
My Dad's Opel Kadett was recalled due to insufficient windshield retainer clips. His response? "I'd rather go out behind the windshield than through it."
Snopes says there never was such a thing. The photo of them is a hoax.
It is fake.
It came from a movie called The Onion Movie
One can't expect YT creators to put in the effort to conduct research
That’s because they never existed.
It is interesting that the photos of the Tucker pop out windshields do not show a Tucker car or a Tucker windshield..
Too bad your hype and lack of car history and knowledge doesn't tell the true story.
I don't think automobile manufacturers have got any smarter.Cause they think that a self driving car is a good idea
Or self driven semi trailer
#5) pop out windshield???? That was called air conditioning.
#6) metal dashboards??? Back in the good ‘ole days the WHOLE car was metal.
Yes, solid metal seats and tyres as well.
Jeeps and other military vehicles used to have pop-out windshield and fold down windshields so troops could fire weapons from the front seats.
I saw a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle that had all windows converted to pop-out windows except for the doors at the 2019 Dade City Bug Jam in Dade City, Florida.
3:55 Describes Tucker and features Volkswagens. Huh???
@@randyfitz8310 Yes. Prob couldn't find a picture of the Tucker opening window. Around 48 made and survivors in museums.
VW's hinged windshield was completely different than the Tucker Pop Out Windshield - different purpose altogether. 😮
Too many "features" on today's cars are just crutches to help those who refuse to actually learn how to DRIVE. ABS brakes tops the list. Back in the day we learned to modulate the brakes ourselves. 😮
Not nearly as good as abs.
I guess this OP doesn't realize that hindsight is always 20/20. And most of these never made it into production. Total click bait
He must be related to The Hopeless Car Guy.
This video makes it sound like all of these features were a deliberate choice to make things dangerous. Propeller cars excepted they were pretty much just the state of design of cars at that time. Ford offered seat belts in the 1950s and they became the butt of jokes like "Don't trust your own driving?" and they dropped the option. And all modern cars feature a pop out windshield similar to Tucker's to minimize head trauma in the event of colliding with the windshield, including decapitation, which can occur when the windshield is fixed tightly in place. As the head impacts the glass it punches a hole in the windshield which tended to form a flexible sheet due to the laminate inside, then when the body fell back this glass would return somewhat to it's original shape closing around the neck, cutting the head off. Hitting the windshield is still going to do you some serious damage but it's more survivable than the old way.
I had swing away steering in a Thunderbird and it never malfunctioned. I bet people with large guts were manually unlocking them and then had a mishap.
when my dad and mom was dating they got into an accident with another car my dad held the steering wheel so hard he bent it around the column to keep from getting impaled
I was pleased to see the Škoda 440 interior on 2:49!
The neck belts were actually ingenious because drivers were so concerned about being choked or decapitated that they were proven to drive extremely carefully as a result.
Big safety changes , one by one , excellent
For the lap belts, they were actually standard for the rear seat in a lot of cars and only until the late 80's early 90's did shoulder belts for rear occupants become a thing. They're obviously mandatory now for all passsengers (except maybe middle occupants where they may still be optional) but it took that long for them to be put into cars standard for the rear seat (although I think that they are not technically mandatory even today for rear occupants). I remember having a few 80's vehicles that didn't have rear shoulder belts. although any car that DOESN'T have rear shulder bvelts is likely to fail the highway safety board's testing because that is one metric they are putting emphasis on (rear occupant safety).
Really good!! Thank good!! 👏👏
Most of these were not in general use, though metal dashboards and rigid steering columns were once very common, and headrests and shoulder belts did not come into use until the 70s. My father's car had a swing-away steering wheel.
I'd like to give a shout out to the mid twentieth century brassiere.
10:54 In the UK lap seat belts were the first type of seat belts that were a legal requirement and were obviously better than no straps at all. Lap and diagonal followed them (3 point) and then seat belts in the rear after that. It was years later before it actually became the law to wear a seatbelt.
While modern safety features are great, if people learned to respect the automobile and the dangers inherent in accidents they would probably drive more safely and there would be fewer accidents. Most accidents are caused by people with the false conviction that they won’t be injured in an accident because they drive an SUV or that other drivers should give way for them because they are in a hurry. Don’t get me started on the infotainment systems on newer cars that take driver’s concentration off the road as well as cellphone usage.
There was never a neck belt. It's a comedy bit from the onion.
When I was a kid in the '80s the family car, which was a Pontiac station wagon (I think it was a Safari but I'm not sure) had the three point seatbelts in the front for the driver and front passenger, but those riding in the back seat aka the kids had only the lap belts to keep them from going through the windshield. My family had two station wagons during that decade both Pontiacs and the first one also had the vinyl seats which got burn your A$$ hot in the summer if the car was out in the sun and you were wearing shorts when you sat on them.
The bare metal dashboard might also have chrome-plated metal logos attached. My mom stopped her 1954 Ford suddenly and my brother got V8 stamped on his forehead. My parents complained to Ford and the '57 had lost the logo, but the steel dashboard was still there. The first car they had with a padded dash was their 1964 Plymouth Valiant. The padding, as I recall, was optional. Then their '67 Jaguar had a wooden dash, no padding.
Before collapsible steering columns, for a few years dished steering wheels (see 10:00) were tried, which was an improvement, moving the end of the steering column a few inches farther from the driver, but nowhere near enough.
The water bumper actually seemed like a good idea, and in low-speed fender-benders, actually worked, and they could be re-loaded with a hose, but they were heavy, slowing acceleration, and worse, steering.
Lap belts, while inadequate, were considerably better than nothing, keeping the driver or passenger from being thrown out of the car. But people often WOULDN'T USE THEM, or the lap-and-shoulder belts that followed, believing it was better to be thrown out onto the road into traffic than to be kept inside in the event of fire or falling into a lake.
Metal dashboards are perfectly fine. I have an old Chevy army cargo truck without airbags and it does just fine. Perhaps if folks learned to actually drive instead of playing on phones or tuning the radio. Maybe we’d wouldn’t have accidents. And the pop out windshields the army used them for years until the 2000s if I’m thinking correctly. The Chevy army truck doesn’t have headrests and I prefer without headrests. I have had headrests in trucks and they are dumb and pointless because the they just point your head and neck downwards. Ya that’s real comfortable. Everyone I’ve talked to has removed these damn headrests including my parents. We bought a brand new Dodge Dakota this is in the early 2000s and those headrests were complete garbage. They just hurt your neck making it very very hard to drive safely. I personally hate modern cars. I sold all of mine and replaced them with old army trucks. At least that way some hacker can’t remotely shut my truck off or be tracked and spied on. More reliable to. My new trucks and cars were constantly broken down and surprise surprise switching back to the old reliable ones the breakdowns stopped. I even did this for my business. I have a dump truck hauling business and all my trucks are old like 40+ years old and older and I have the lowest cost to keep them running and repaired vs companies with brand new trucks. Of course no ac, no antilock brakes, no air bags, lap seat belts, no overdrive, only safety features are a horn and a lap seat belt, and steel cabs. Durable and reliable vs modern “safety” garbage.
Thank you! I firmly believe that people must read the driver’s manual enough to pass the test in any state and then forget everything! Turn signals were in cars in the 40s but people just don’t grasp how to use them today! Driver’s Ed was a mandatory semester class when I was in high school and it also,got parents a deal,on insurance - I doubt that any new drivers in the last 20-30 years or so were even taught anything!
I have had the same experience lately with modern cars (including one that spontaneously caught fire!), and have reverted to using my 1970 Morris Minor Traveller, a very simple, 'no-frills' car but one that gets the job done with minimal fuss and problems. It's lightweight and quite fun to drive too.
@@FMFGUF I had a 2018 ram 2500 with a Cummins and that trucks was always stuck due to way to many computer controls emission systems problems reliable issues only only made 6 mpg. Now i understand it’s a truck and it’s not going to make 20 mpg like a smaller truck or suv. But 6? I sold that for a 1984 Chevy cucv army truck with a 6.2 Detroit diesel engine and th400 transmission. This truck makes 25 mpg on highway and has never ever broke down and I have had it for about 4 years it’s stupid simple, stupid reliable and just keeps going and going only payed 4000 for it. Newer vehicles are just a waste of cash imo
1957 Chevrolet had to be the worst,not only did they handle poorly,the dash was a disaster
In 1973 the hydraulic bumper was introduced. It was oil filled, water would freeze
Airlines still only use lap belts. I guess they worry about the passengers getting thrown around the plane in rough turbulence vs surviving a crash.
They were not illegal when built.
There are still so many fools that think that lap only seat belts are cool. The internal organ damage caused by the lap belt design is horrific and in many cases these belts are worse than no belt at all. Those original lap belts are now so old that they should be due for replacement anyway so there is no excuse for not fitting a three point belt.
The worst part of it all is that those idiotic features made it into production...
No, they didn't actually. Almost all of these were just concepts.
Six minutes in and the BS is so evident that I just stopped long enough to make this comment.
I'm a classic car guy. I've never seen or heard of "neck seatbelts". The first seatbelts were lap belts. Shoulder belts were added later. Never heard of a "wrist twist" steering system either. Don't know where you got this stuff. I have heard of propeller driven cars, but they were strictly homemade. Some foreign cars did have pop up windshields, namely Volkswagen. They were there for ventilation, and didn't open all the way. And remember, Jeeps had fold down windshields for a long time. All cars and trucks had metal dashboards well into the '60s. I own three cars with metal dashboards. The super hard plastic they started putting on dashboards was no better. And unlike metal, they cracked like crazy from the sun. Airbags are a terrible idea. Many people have been killed and seriously injured by them. I have removed them from the one car I have that had them. I don't want my face inches away from a bomb. Four of my cars have "low back" seats. Unlike airbags, headrests were a good idea, but I'm not going to ruin the looks of my classic cars with them. Only one of my cars has a collapsable steering column. Big deal. There has never been any such thing as water balloon bumpers. Modern cars don't even have bumpers. Swing away steering wheels did exist, but there were almost no problems with them. They were just something that never caught on, like tilt and telescopic steering wheels. Three of my cars have lap belts only, and one doesn't even have seat belts. You sound like someone that should probably be spending the rest of your worthless life in a sterilized padded room, so there is no chance of you being injured.
YIKES~!!!
Concept cars are pretty interesting! 😉
5:47 - years later - Elmo said: “that’s a good idea” and the cyber truck was born 😂
Padded dashboards, lap belts and dished steering wheels ( to make it less likely that the column would impale) all came out in 1956, not the 60s.
Sorry but, I had one of the first collapsible steering columns in a 1967 Pontiac Lemans. My wife had a drivers side accident and it was not properly fixed by a bodyman. A year later I was driving home at night and the steering was gone. A bearing broke at the firewall and the bodyman didn’t repair it and it cut the steering column at the firewall. Luckily I stopped the car and no one was hurt.
My 1966 Chevelle had lap belts and saved me from 2 rear end collisions, I walked away from both, I was 21 years old.
In 1998 I was in a 35 MPH head-on collision, sitting in the front passenger seat with a 3 point seat belt, like in todays cars, and my head hit the windshield (just touching it), my knee broke the dash, and the seat belt crushed my chest. This was a 1992 Geo Storm, 4 door. I couldn’t get out of the car, the firemen took me out. I was checked in the emergency room and stayed in the hospital one day, nothing was broken. Four days later the middle of my chest, turned back and blue and it was the shape of a football. I needed help to sit and stand and going into bed and getting up, I was home for 6 weeks. I was 52 years old.
No one talks about seat belt bodily damage in car accidents, and they do damage, and deaths.😮
A gas tank in front of the car, like in the Volkwswagen Beetle. Not a good idea.
Yeah, it’s much safer at the back of the car. Kaboom!!
My first car was a 1972 beetle and I hit a car so hard in the rear it bent the roof at the front of that car and dented the tank of the beetle I was driving and believe it or not after I pulled the metal away from the wheels I drove home in that car and it didn't catch on fire. The spare wheel in the front absorbed a lot and that wrapped round the torsion bar tubes which are incredibly strong.
I never saw a car equipped with the “neck seat belt”.
Neck seat belts were a urban legend made by some idiots in the 1960s that were arguing against ANY type of seat belt.
Unfortunately seat belts weren't included in cars from the manufactures until state laws made them mandatory, then if I believe right it was the dealers responsibility to install the seat belts. The manufacture would have the mounting points in the floor of the body. It was only lap belts that were required. The 3 point didn't become standard until 1968 when the feds finally mandated them. Still took almost 20 years before laws were enacted for seat belt use
in the USA, lap belts were mandated Jan 1st 1969. By that time, most imports came standard with belts and 3 point was showing up on Volvo and VW a few years earlier. VW had headrests in the bug starting in 1968.
Many of the safety features were only put in by American automakers after the Federal government mandated them: head rests, three-point safety belts, side marker lights, bumpers which could survive a low-speed impact (not water-filled - that was a dumb idea). Lee Iacocca was famous for saying that you can't sell safety.
However a few decades later at Chrysler Iacocca made driver side airbags standard when Chrysler needed a boost in sales. (Not on the Mitsubishi sourced vehicles.) Even the 1990 Omni and Horizon, in their last year of production, got airbags.
And yet........WE SURVIVED!
Tucker had padded dashboards, he developed it in his 48 Tucker
It’s a real shame that the big auto manufacturers drove Tucker out - I’ve seen 3 in a museum many years ago and they were really nice! Loved the design!
Came back Stateside from Germany in 1956 and bought a new 1956 Ford with the optional safety package in New York City before we headed for Oklahoma. Padded dash and steering wheel, lap belts in the front seat. May have included some other safety features that I've forgotten
Ford sold very few of them, so they dropped the option for a while.
Collapsible steering columns were government mandated in 1967 so all carmakers needed to have them.
Seat belt around the neck what the heck were they thinking 😂
#1 has some serious Dagmars.
That’s a ‘64 Thunderbird in this video.
But the “‘61 Thunderbird did have a swingaway steering wheel😊
What about every tesla screen to inflict damage.
3 point seat belt, collapsing steering columns, padded dashboard... ALL VOLVO IDEAS/ÍNVENTIONS
Where did they come up with the stupid idea of neck belts?
Safety?? Pfft, people are just too soft today.
Let's bring back metal dashboards.
Safety isn't worth it if it makes your car look like sh!t.
You can still get hurt with a lap belt & padded dash.
My Dad was a Dodge salesman in 1956 and he used to say if they got a wrecked Dodge Car back in the shop that they would just Hose off The Dash and sell it to someone else~!!! P.S. I liked and subscribed=I enjoyed the video~!
They didn't show the Tucker's pop out windshield. Not the same as what they are showing. Tuckers had a padded dashboard in 1948. If Tucker had his way there would have been disc brakes, seatbelts and fuel injection. Plus more that ideas that are in our card now. His corporate executives said that safety didn't sell. Just like the big 3's bean counters. 1974 was the first year that 3 point seatbelts were mandated for the front seats only! Headrests in 1969, front only. Nader's book, 'Unsafe At Any Speed' about all cars not just the Corvair. In the end it was no worse than the rest.
Neck belts sound awful, and the ones in this video are! However, were the on to something ahead of it's time? Like the HANS?
My first car, a 1960 Chevy Bel Air, had an all metal dash and after market lap belts (front seat only); even the radio had vacuum tubes in it. And it was fun to drive.
Those old Chevys were tanks (a good thing!). I had a 1955 Bel Aire till someone torched it🙁🙁
Um kid they we used what we had available.
The 3 point belt was on the piller & could be rolled up out of the way.
And half the cars u showed regarding the water bumpers the front bumpers was designed to give as well as the grill or nose of that Pontiac cone did
What is the dangerous part of water filled bumpers? The risk of geting wett? 😂😂😂😂
Aeroplanes have lap belts
It's a miracle anybody survived that time
No pussies back then~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neck belts never existed
Coffins on wheels and the manufacturers did'nt care.
VW late Beetle key locking steering while you drive.
Don't waste over twelve minutes on this thing.
Revisionist history.
First thing to know is that a number of these "features" were just how cars were built at the time. No headrests? Well, at the least, you could see out the back. I don't know how many lane-change accident have been caused by headrests, but it ain't zero. Lap-only belts? Good enough for airliners, even today. And the first shoulder harnesses were a real PITA to use and store. Rigid steering columns? Well, do you want to maintain a sound connection to the steering gear? And here's a clue: the idea is NOT TO HAVE THE ACCIDENT TO BEGIN WITH. You were supposed to know how to drive.
There are a number of cars from the 60s I'd be happy to drive today, assuming complete and timely maintenance. Near the top of the list: the Corvair. With the 4-carb engine and the 4-speed, you had a good handling car with decent performance and brakes better than most of the competition. You'd go in snow and be well equipped to stay out of accidents. Surprisingly good heater. Great mpg.
A feature you should look up: The car with no brake pedal. IIRC, braking would be accomplished by a reduction in accelerator pressure. Google Popular Science "Out goes the brake pedal". Never got anywhere. Whew!
I’ve owned 2 Corvair in my life and I loved them - both stick shifts. I’m did keep a box of books in the front trunk though - helped to keep down the bounce😃😃. Sold my last one just before the oil embargo of 1973 - dumb move!!!
These are American ideas. And metal dashboards were in VWs into the 80s.
bad new car inventions.....launch control, led headlights,autonomous parking, adaptive cruise comtrol, auto headlights.
What a brilliant idea....neck belts.
Could seriously lead to rednecks if too tight and preventing oxygen reaching the brain.
Doesn't NASCAR have a head restraint?
@@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys Maybe but that`s different .
47 Ford metal dash got my front teeth when I was 12
So how come they only have lap belts on aircraft?
'74 & '87 cars with 5 mph steel bumpers protected the rest of the car body very well - compared to modern plastic bumpers that do nothing!
The late 60's -'73 infinitely adjustable SEPARARE lap & shoulder belts are THE safest, since there's no auto tensioner/lockup to fail or jamb.
New vehicles are MUCH more dangerous sitting in the back seat with very little overhang past the rear wheels these days. If any car espec a big one from the mid '70s hits a new vehicle hard in the back(most common type of accident), everyone is the back seat is dead meat.
Also, exploding shrapnel from defective air bags have killed & severely injured people insdie modern vehicles.
& the cat converter shield on my '76 chevette one day flew off & the 2000 degree cat burned the carpet inside!
& last, of course, electric car batteries starting on fire by themselves & burning some homes as well if in an attached garage.
oops '74 THRU '87 above
Airline lap belts are designed only to keep you from “floating” out of your seat in violent turbulence. No device in the world will save you from the crash impact at airliner speeds, so they aren’t designed for that.
@10:50 lap only seatbelts. Airplanes moving 10x faster than average car have lap seatbelts. Ouch!
They keep the corpses in the alocated seat, for easier I.D
Lap belts in aeroplanes are there to protect you from sudden drops in altitude if there's turbulence in the air, and to keep you steady during take-off and landing. The risk of a head-on collision in a plane is negligible, and the weight of the plane and padding on the seats in front will protect you in a survivable crash anyway. If the plane hits a mountain at 400mph you're going to be dead, whatever safety systems are in place.
People need to Understand Nothing becomes Perfect over Night .Im talking to you EV Critics It takes lots of tries and fails to Perfect something . EV Cars are still in the Infancy, With Time Battery Technology will get better
THEY should bring back the seat belt around the NECK :) todays confused will use it :)
1:20 LOL
@10:50 This is the only good part of this video.
Good one,(1) And they still sell black lather jacket to motorcyclist so they are extra *oo&y harder to see in wet weather and or near sunrise, sunset. Come on, come on, release the clutch, engage the brain. I am sure the clothing industry could make heavy duty High Visibility motor cyclist jackets that does not flap around at high speed.
(2) Someone should do a series to reduce inflation, e.g. "Ignoring road code rules to promote road accidents is inflationary".
(3) I almost saw a accident happen as a pedestrian when motorist think the STOP signs and GIVE WAY signs have identical road code rules, Even the city bus drivers can not get their head around the difference with that road code rule.
(4) Our city council has the following sign at the back of their vehicles "This drivers speed is been monitored." The trouble is, the font size is so small, if you are following it thinking 'Why is this vehicle going so slow,when everyone is going a bit faster' (over the speed limit) if you got closer to read the message and the vehicle suddenly stopped, sure as night follows day, you would run into the back of it, This message should be bigger and made available so more people could use it as bumper sticker to reduce accidents AND NOT CONTRIBUTE TO BOOST INFLATION.
😏😏If It Ain't Broken; don't Try And Fix It.😈↪Comes tO Mind❗❗
What a stupid video watched the first ost interest these never went into production
I've stayed thru the first 3 "features", all of which have been pure misinformation if not outright falsehoods - the bull is getting snorkel deep so I'm going to bail this ludicrous channel
further note: I'm am flooded that near 2% would actually subscribe - sure it's not .0002% ?
The most dangerous car feature is the accelerator pedal. And the more it is used, the more dangerous it becomes.
7:22 That's what JFK discovered.
