In the early days of Automobiles invention seatbelts and airbags are standard options but what fears most are the small glass particles from the windshield which pierce the skin during accidents. Thanks to Benedictus for inventing the laminated glass. While he was in lab in dropped a glass flask and observed the pieces to not be shattered and later realized the interior is coated with plastic cellulose nitrate which hold the glass pieces firm. He patented it in 1909 though all cars started to use that from 1930.
