IIRC Pushback against "Unsafe at any speed" was the literal origin of the conservative think tank as a political movement. I think Behind the Bastards did an episode on it or maybe Stuff you missed in history class?
This one needs explaining
I added a brief explanation
Sorry I still don't really understand. What does "unsafe at any speed" mean?
It's a book by Ralph Nader calling out unsafe vehicle design in the 70's.
Oh damn. I didn't realise just how ahead of his time (by Anglosphere standards) Nader was. We're 50 years on and just now are the evils of motornormativity starting to be more widely understood.
