Preface to the second edition -- Preface -- Chapter 1. The evolution of automotive technology -- Part I. Structure -- Chapter 2. The engine: mixture formation -- Chapter 3. The engine: ignition -- Chapter 4. The drivetrain: how to get the energy from the engine to the wheels -- Chapter 5. The drivetrain: multiplying energy, de-multiplying speed -- Chapter 6. The chassis: getting around the corner -- Chapter 7. Wheel suspension: who will absorb the shocks? -- Chapter 8. Stopping the car: how to generate and distribute braking energy. -- Part II: System -- Chapter 9. Automation: driver deskilling and the "electronic revolution" -- Chapter 10. Safety: from shell to capsule to cocoon, from danger to risk -- Chapter 11. Environment: discovering the other -- Chapter 12. Scientification: The co-evolution of engineering knowledge -- Chapter 13. Decarbonization: searching for radical alternatives -- Chapter 14. Innovation: production, diffusion, use -- Chapter 15. World mobility: shifting the focus -- Chapter 16. Conclusions -- Bibliography -- Index -- About the Author.

The idea of "understanding the present through its history" is based on two insights. First, it helps to know where a technology comes from: what were its predecessors, how did they evolve as a result of the continuous efforts to solve theoretical and practical problems, who were crucial in their emergence, and which cultural differences made them develop into divergent families of artifacts? Second, and closely related to the first insight, how does a certain technology or system fit into its societal context, its culture of mobility, its engineering culture, its culture of car driving, its alternatives, its opponents? Only thus, by studying its prehistory and its socio-cultural context, can we acquire a true 'grasp' of a technology. The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook, Second Edition covers one and a quarter century of the automobile, conceived as a cultural history of its technology, aimed at engineering students and all those who wish to have a concise introduction into the basics of automotive technology and its long-term development.
