 The Auto Safety has affected every single adults in the world. In 2004 people began getting hurt and died of car crashes. There are three people that helped and invented.

 Samuel Alderson was born in Cleveland, Ohio on October 21, 1914. Samuel is dead now. Samuel Alderson was an inventor best known for his development of the crash test dummy a device that, during the last half of the twentieth century was widely used by automobile manufacturers to test the reliability of automobile seat belts and other safety protocols.

 Ralph Nader was born in Winsted, Connecticut on February 27, 1934. Ralph is still alive now. Ralph Nader received an AB magna cum laude degree from Princeton University in 1955. He also received a LLB with distinction degree from Harvard University in 1958. Ralph Nader began his career as a lawyer in Hartford, Connecticut in 1959 and from 1961-1963. In 1965-1966 he received the Nieman Fellows award and was named one of ten Outstanding Young Men of Year by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1967. Between 1967-1968 he returned to Princeton as a lecturer. He continues to speak at colleges and universities across the United States.

 Henry Ford was born into a farm family in 1863 near Dearborn, Mich., and showed an early interest in mechanics. He fixed neighbors’ watches and built his first steam engine at 15. He tinkered constantly, and as America’s first automobiles emerged, Ford focused on internal combustion engines. John W. Lambert invented the nation’s first gasoline-powered automobile in 1891; just five years later, Ford unveiled his own “horseless carriage,” which he named the “Quadricycle,” because it ran on four bicycle tires. The Quadricycle, which steered with a tiller much like a boat, had just two speeds with no reverse.Ford at the time was chief engineer at Thomas Edison’s thriving Edison Illuminating Company, but his venturesome spirit led him to strike out on his own to try his hand at automotive engineering. Ford left with the encouragement of Edison, who later became one of his closest friends.

 In conclusion I learned that Samuel Alderson was a inventor best known for his development of the crash test dummy, Ralph Nader began his career as a lawyer in Hartford, and Henry Ford fixed neighbors’ watches and built his first steam engine. He tinkered constantly, and as America’s first automobiles emerged, Ford focused on internal combustion engines.
