BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Podcast
Leisure:Automotive
Born in Hagerstown, Indiana, in 1890, Ralph Teetor had normal vision until one day, his hand slipped while working with a knife. The blade penetrated his eye and within a year, he was completely blind. However, Teetor never let his condition define him. He quickly developed a highly refined sense of touch; a trait that would benefit him greatly throughout his career.
In 1945, automotive engineer Ralph Teetor was responsible for creating the technology we now know as Cruise Control – one of the first steps towards autonomous vehicles. He accomplished this and many other innovations without the benefit of sight. And his great nephew Jack Teetor, joining us tonight on Break/Fix, has taken on the task of retelling his lesser known story.
