Beschreibung:
Driver Feedback in Automotive Engineering presents the outcome of a substantial research project into a relatively neglected area of vehicle design: vehicle feedback. It describes the 'human factors' that lie at the heart of the driver-vehicle interaction, those which help to explain why so many people, with comparatively little training, can drive a car in what is a complex environment, with the appearance of relative ease.
