ABSTRACT

Within those 20 years, the automotive industry witnessed an explosion in vehicle electronics and systems development. It is predominantly this rapid development in electronics alongside developments in other areas of vehicle engineering that actually moved the benchmark in applications and standards for automotive ergonomics. Within this framework, and without underestimating the great importance of the original book, it is rather impossible that the original contributions sufšciently cover the ever-developing discipline of automotive ergonomics. A quick look of the contents in the original book alongside the relevant advances in those 20 years will actually shed more light on the argument above.
