Seat belts were first introduced in the 19th century, but they became more widely recognized in the automotive industry during the 1950s. The first production car to feature seat belts as standard equipment was the 1959 Volvo PV544. However, it wasn't until the late 1960s and early 1970s that seat belt laws and regulations began to be enforced more rigorously in many countries, significantly increasing their usage and contributing to road safety.
