There is a void that yearns to be filled. Numerous books and articles concerning luxury motor cars manufactured prior to the Second World War have been written. These publications describe their beauty of design, the history of various marques and include a limited amount of mechanical specifications. With few exceptions, there is no in-depth examination of the car's performance and what can be expected of such a vehicle on today's roads. Road Testing Cars of Distinction intends to fill that void. Beginning in the late 1940s, the modern road test began to develop in America. A typical report includes a vehicle's acceleration time, top speed, handling characteristics, braking ability, driving comfort, etc. In short, the modern road test provides in depth information. Prior to World War II, published road tests generally contained much less useful data than today's enthusiast has come to expect. Road Testing Cars of Distinction remedies this lack of relevant information. Each chapter offers a comprehensive road test of a Classic car in words, charts and pictures from information gathered and exhaustively researched during the last ten years. Road Testing Cars of Distinction places the reader in the driver's seat and takes him on an imaginary ride in a luxury vintage motor car. From a 265 horsepower Duesenberg Model J Sport Phaeton to a 32 horsepower Franklin Sport Runabout, the reader is vicariously transported behind the wheel to savor the excitement of driving an automobile usually reserved for the elite of society. The common thread running through each chapter is that all the cars tested were high-end cars. Not high-end luxury cars as we know them today, but automobiles that were so expensive that annual sales were frequently in the double digits or less. It is a book that both the knowledgeable vintage car aficionado and teenager about to receive his driver's license will relish reading and retaining for reference because he may currently own or someday acquire one of these mobile masterpieces of technological art. Road Testing Cars of Distinction is the culmination of ten years of road testing approximately one hundred magnificent Classic motor cars across the United States The book contains some of the most sought after as well as some of the most obscure luxury Classic cars. I have attempted to cover as many different makes as possible in the limited space available and yet also devote time to the more popular old cars without retracing paths that are well trodden by other authors. In addition to the twenty-eight chapters is a table setting forth performance figures for the twenty-eight motor cars road tested. This table provides a shorthand reference of each vehicle's performance potential. Road Testing Cars of Distinction places the keys in your hands, plants you in the driver's seat and provides you with an imaginary test drive of some very rare and enthralling motor cars.

During his sixty years as a motoring journalist, Stuart Bladon test drove almost every car on the road. Working for Autocar, and later as a freelance writer, he was granted access to some of the oddest vehicles off the road as well, including the three-wheeled Bond Minicar, in which he was very nearly killed. The best part of any car test, however, was finding out how fast they would go. In 1970, he set what was for a long time Autocar's fastest road test maximum speed, at 172mph. Going back to the days when the only speed limit was the 30mph restriction in built-up areas, each chapter of this book brings a motoring story of travel, testing and adventure. Since a fond aunt began teaching him to drive at the age of 7, Stuart Bladon has enjoyed a lifelong passion for cars. This book recounts the many motors and the colourful escapades of a life spent very near – if not over – the speed limit.

This contributed volume covers all relevant aspects of road vehicle automation including societal impacts, legal matters, and technology innovation from the perspectives of a multitude of public and private actors. It is based on an expert workshop organized by the Transportation Research Board at Stanford University in July 2013. The target audience primarily comprises academic researchers, but the book may also be of interest to practitioners and professionals. Higher levels of road vehicle automation are considered beneficial for road safety, energy efficiency, productivity, convenience and social inclusion. The necessary key technologies in the fields of object-recognition systems, data processing and infrastructure communication have been consistently developed over the recent years and are mostly available on the market today. However, there is still a need for substantial research and development, e.g. with interactive maps, data processing, functional safety and the fusion of different data sources. Driven by stakeholders in the IT industry, intensive efforts to accelerate the introduction of road vehicle automation are currently underway.
