While driven by his lawyer, Teetor noticed that the car would jerk back and forth as the driver accelerated and decelerated while talking. The inconsistent speed annoyed Teetor enough to start sketching solutions. A mechanical system that could maintain a steady speed regardless of hills or driver distractions emerged.

Teetor's invention, named initially Speedostat, was first introduced as an option in 1958 Chrysler models under the name "Auto-Pilot." By the early 1960s, it became a staple in American cars, laying the groundwork for the adaptive cruise systems of today.

Teetors innovation wasn’t a one-off. He held over 40 patents and was the president of the Society of Automotive Engineers. His ability to "see" problems others overlooked, literally and figuratively, made him one of the most quietly influential inventors in automotive history.

Cruise control today is a given. But like so many great inventions, it started with a simple, relatable frustration, and the vision of someone who couldn't see, yet saw the road ahead more clearly than most.

Cruise control wasn’t born in Detroit, but in the mind of a blind engineer few remember. We bring you more forgotten stories like this. Subscribe to unlock them.

Robert Hodgkins: Engineering Better Chemistry (and Cleaner Air) with British Wit and Saudi Grit 🔬

Armed with a PhD in Chemistry from the University of St. Andrews (because, of course, the man shaping the future of hydrocarbons would be trained in a castle town), Hodgkins is a connoisseur of the nanoporous. His work spans zeolites, mesoporous silica, and even porous metal oxides, materials that sound complicated because, well, they are. But in his hands, they become tools for better catalysis, cleaner fuels, and even drug delivery.

With 118 issued patents and 54 more waiting in the wings, Hodgkins proves you don’t need a cape to be a science hero, just a lab coat, a high-pressure reactor, and maybe a decent cup of tea.
