Infrastructure Details: The History of Traffic

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?  Get Peter Norton's book: Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City Join our Patreon and enter our giveaway: https://www.patreon.com/c/GoodIsInTheDetails Connect with us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/profdolske.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/rudysalo.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/goodisinthedetails.bsky.social Read Rudy's work on Forbes.com: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rudysalo/
