Ralph Nadar's book Unsafe At Any Speed raised public awareness of some of the safety problems associated with the Chevrolet Corvair. Nadar’s book, however, was also an indictment of the auto industry as a whole and served as a lightning rod for legislation establishing what would eventually become the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
These two industries, HealthIT and automobiles have quite a lot in common including that they are both highly regulated. These regulations exist because in both industries poor design can lead to safety issues and the possible death of their user’s.
