Editorial Reviews
Review
"The authors mix one part philosophy with another part engineering to describe the ethics of automobile design. Using examples from the real world, they illustrate how ethical design principles can reduce societal harm and its attendant cost. [The book] provides some interesting insights into the analysis of a product's foreseeable use and misuse as an element of sound design practice." - Trial, Aug. 2003
