Mr. Otto Nobetter, meet Mr. Jay Walker

Historian Peter Norton joins Phil & Junko in a discussion of the surprisingly rich history of the slogan "Safety First."

We discuss the history of multiple cycles of adoption and repudiation of the concept of Safety First in industrial and automotive safety. We also cover cautionary tales from the history of safety regulations in other industries. Perhaps it is time for the autonomous vehicle industry to re-think its Safety First messaging.
