Good Is In The Details

Infrastructure Details: The History of Traffic


Listen Later

Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo welcome History Professor Dr Peter Norton (University of Virginia).  We discuss the relationship between Engineering, Law, Culture, and Ethics when it comes to the vehicle and traffic.  How are our ideas of freedom wrapped up in the way we speak of cars? What does traffic tell us about the broader issues of the way transportation is designed?  Given the history of the car, what can we expect in the future?
