Garrett Morgan did not invent the seat belt; he is best known for inventing the three-position traffic signal and a safety hood for smoke protection. The modern seat belt was developed in the 1950s by engineers and automotive safety advocates who recognized the need to reduce injuries in car accidents. The primary motivation behind the invention of the seat belt was to enhance passenger safety in vehicles, addressing the increasing number of road traffic fatalities.
