Seat belts were invented in the 19th century by the English engineer George Cayley, but were not required to be installed in new cars in the US before 1959.
Seat belts became a standard feature in cars starting in the late 1950s. The first production car to offer seat belts as standard equipment was the 1959 Chevrolet. However, it wasn't until the 1960s and 1970s that seat belt laws were enacted in many countries, leading to wider adoption and use in vehicles. By the 1980s, seat belts had become mandatory in most new cars.
