Description: Ralph Nader's *Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile* (1965) is a groundbreaking critique of the automobile industry's negligence regarding safety. Nader exposes how car manufacturers prioritized style and profit over driver and passenger safety, leading to unnecessary accidents and fatalities. He particularly highlights the unsafe design of certain models, such as the Chevrolet Corvair, and the industry's resistance to adopting basic safety measures like seat belts and padded dashboards. Nader's book played a pivotal role in raising public awareness and led to significant reforms, including the establishment of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and stricter safety regulations for cars.
