Modern steering wheels have recesses and padding to ensure driver safety in the event of a colission. Are we getting too soft? Here is an early vintage steering wheel. The outer edge was made from polished wood and the center contains a rather nasty spike. Now some may conclude that this is dangerous but one should consider the possiblity that driving a car with a spike in line with your head focussed the mind and led to fewere colissions.

Yeah I don’t think they gave as much attention to safety back then. Honestly I don’t even think they gave it a second thought by the looks of this kind of stuff.
