Béla Barényi (1 March 1907, Hirtenberg, Austria – 30 May 1997, Böblingen, Germany) was an Austro-Hungarian engineer,[1] who was a prolific inventor, sometimes even compared to Thomas Edison. Barényi made numerous crash protection inventions, and is therefore regarded as the father of passive safety in automotive design.[2][3]
Barényi is also credited with first conceiving the original design for the German people's car (the Volkswagen Beetle) in 1925,[3] – notably by Mercedes-Benz, on their website, including his original technical drawing,[4] – five years before Ferdinand Porsche claimed to have made his initial version.[5]
