The first comprehensive history of auto regulation in the United States. Regulation has shaped the evolution of the automobile from the beginning. In Moving Violations, Lee Vinsel shows that, contrary to popular opinion, these restrictions have not hindered technological change. Rather, by drawing together communities of scientific and technical experts, auto regulations have actually fostered innovation. Vinsel tracks the history of American auto regulation from the era of horseless carriages and the first, faltering efforts to establish speed limits in cities to recent experiments with self-driving cars. He examines how the government has tried to address car-related problems, from accidents to air pollution, and demonstrates that automotive safety, emissions, and fuel economy have all improved massively over time. Touching on fuel economy standards, the rise of traffic laws, the birth of drivers' education classes, and the science of distraction, he also describes how the government's changing activities have reshaped the automobile and its drivers, as well as the country's entire system of roadways and supporting technologies, including traffic lights and gas pumps. Moving Violations examines how policymakers, elected officials, consumer advocates, environmentalists, and other interested parties wrestled to control the negative aspects of American car culture while attempting to preserve what they saw as its positive contributions to society. Written in a clear, approachable, and jargon-free voice, Moving Violations will appeal to makers and analysts of policy, historians of science, technology, business, and the environment, and any readers interested in the history of cars and government.

The automotive industry is still one of the world's largest manufacturing sectors, but it suffers from being very technology-focused as well as being relatively short-term focused. There is little emphasis within the industry and its consultancy and analyst supply network on the broader social and economic impacts of automobility and of the sector that provides it. The Global Automotive Industry addresses this need and is a first port of call for any academic, official or consultant wanting an overview of the state of the industry. An international team of specialist researchers, both from academia and business, review and analyse the key issues that make vehicle manufacturing still the world’s premier manufacturing sector, closely tied in with the fortunes of both established and newly emerging economies. In doing so, it covers issues related to manufacturing, both established practices as well as new developments; issues relating to distribution, marketing and retail, vehicle technologies and regulatory trends; and, crucially, labour practices and the people who build cars. In all this it explains both how the current situation arose and also likely future trajectories both in terms of social and regulatory trends, as the technological, marketing and labour practice responses to those, leading in many cases to the development of new business models. Key features Provides a global overview of the automotive industry, covering its current state and considering future challenges Contains contributions from international specialists in the automotive sector Presents current research and sets this in an historical and broader industry context Covers threats to the industry, including globalization, economic and environmental sustainability The Global Automotive Industry is a must-have reference for researchers and practitioners in the automotive industry and is an excellent source of information for business schools, governments, and graduate and undergraduate students in automotive engineering.

Combining superb investigative reporting with incisive analysis, Jerry Mashaw and David Harfst provide a compelling account of the attempt to regulate auto safety in America. Their penetrating look inside the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) spans two decades and reveals the complexities of regulating risk in a free society. Hoping to stem the tide of rising automobile deaths and injuries, Congress passed the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act in 1966. From that point on, automakers would build cars under the watchful eyes of the federal regulators at NHTSA. Curiously, however, the agency abandoned its safety mission of setting, monitoring, and enforcing performance standards in favor of the largely symbolic act of recalling defective autos. Mashaw and Harfst argue that the regulatory shift from rules to recalls was neither a response to a new vision of the public interest nor a result of pressure by the auto industry or other interest groups. Instead, the culprit was the legal environment surrounding NHTSA and other regulatory agencies such as the EPA, OSHA, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The authors show how NHTSA's decisions as well as its organization, processes, and personnel were reoriented in order to comply with the demands of a legal culture that proved surprisingly resistant to regulatory pressures. This broad-gauged view of NHTSA has much to say about political idealism and personal ambition, scientific commitment and professional competition, long-range vision and political opportunism. A fascinating illustration of America's ambivalence over whether government is a source of--or solution to--social ills, The Struggle for Auto Safety offers important lessons about the design and management of effective health and safety regulatory agencies today.

"The financial crisis of 2008-9 wiped out General Motors and Chrysler, several major automakers paid dearly in the wake of self-inflicted product scandals, and new companies such as Tesla emerged as serious challengers to the traditional car manufacturers and to the traditional dealership model. Yet despite these changes, what hasn't changed is the basic legal structure governing how a car must be designed, manufactured, sold, and serviced in order to meet various consumer protection laws. And still I can't find a handbook or comprehensive guide to automotive law that is intended to educate consumers about how the law protects them when they purchase or lease an automobile. That's why Karl and I wrote this book. It is our modest attempt to provide a high-level guide to all major aspects making up a field we call "automotive law." Automotive law is that body of law governing the design, manufacturing, sale, and servicing of an automobile. In no particular order, automotive law draws from contract law, administrative law, tort law, products liability law, securities law, environmental law, consumer protection law, financial law, intellectual property law, patent law, and antitrust law, all depending on where one is within the lifecycle of an automobile transaction, broadly defined (meaning production through after-sales). We have divided the various constituents of automotive law into bite-size chapters that summarize how these areas feed into a whole of automotive law using a "Frequently Asked Questions" approach. The way we conceptualized this undertaking is by starting with the engineering and design and ending with the servicing. The book is thus divided into four parts. Part One covers the legal aspects involved in selling an automobile, from the engineering and design through the selling and distribution, including marketing and advertising. Part Two focuses on the myriad laws and regulations involved in financing the purchase of an automobile. Part Three covers the legal aspects of fixing an automobile, from warranties to lemon law and recalls, including products liability. Part Four concludes the book by looking into the future at the law governing emerging sales and financing models such as autonomous vehicles, car sharing models, and alternative payment platforms. For whom is this book written? It's for anyone, lawyers and non-lawyers alike, who is interested in the auto industry. It's for the over seven million people employed in the auto sector, from anyone working at an automaker to anyone at one of the suppliers or dealerships. It's for the journalists and academics following this important industry. It's for the new entrants seeking to "disrupt" the traditional method of building, distributing, or selling cars. It's for anyone interested in seeing how all the aspects of the legal system fit into a body of law called automotive law. And last, but certainly not lease, it's written to educate consumers about how automotive law protects them. Although this book is not intended to serve as an exhaustive hornbook and intentionally does not all aspects of automotive law applicable to manufacturers and suppliers and the automotive supply chain, we hope that it can serve as a quick reference guide that provides the reader a simple and accessible primer on automotive law. Think of it as a quick-tips guide that accompanies the standard owner's manual in your car. Before reading the owner's manual, you probably read the quick-tips guide. That's what this book is designed to do by serving as a quick-tips guide to automotive law and to point you in the right direction if you're interested in diving into the details in any particular area. A few words on parlance. We use the terms "automobile," "vehicle," and "car" interchangeably. Technically, of course, not all "vehicles" are "automobiles." And not all "cars" are "vehicles." For purposes of my explanations, though, this technicality won't make any difference. "--
