I did see the date. That is a pretty early application of the concept for improving safety and other stuff.

Compared to what came before, EBWs are a huge improvement. As a materials person I find them interestingly complex. We'll probably stop using them long before we fully understand all of the phenomena involved.

(sitting a few hundred yards from where EBWs were likely invented)
