Designed for Speed: Three Automobiles by Ferrari k \ ' . r- ; / THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK The nearer the automobile approaches its utilitarian ends, the more beautiful it becomes. That is, when the vertical lines (which contrary to its purpose) dominated at its debut, it was ugly, and people kept buying horses. Cars were known as "horseless carriages." The necessity of speed lowered and elongated the car so that the horizontal lines, balanced by the curves, dominated: it became a perfect whole, logically organized for its purpose, and it was beautiful. —Fernand Leger "Aesthetics of the Machine: The Manufactured Object, The Artisan, and the Artist," 1924 M Migh-performance sports and racing cars represent some of the ultimate achievements of one of the world's largest industries. Few objects inspire such longing and acute fascination. As the French critic and theorist Roland Barthes observed, "I think that cars today are almost the exact equiv alent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object." Unlike most machines, which often seem to have an antagonistic relationship with people, these are intentionally designed for improved handling, and the refinement of the association between man and machine.

That tragedy came just months after a 737 Max disaster in Indonesia. The delay in grounding the World's Max fleets in the wake of those catastrophic events was the first ethical hiccup; the blanket grounding that should have come immediately was delayed while the American Federal Aviation Administration dallied, and theories were floated about what had, or hadn't, caused the disasters. Unilateral decisions to ground the planes came from individual operators, before regulators or Boeing took a stand.

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LANE CHANGE PERFORMANCE AND OPEN-LOOP HANDLING METRICS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Mechanical Engineering by Robert A. Powell December 2009 Accepted by: Dr. E. Harry Law, Committee Co-Chair Dr. Beshahwired Ayalew, Committee Co-Chair Dr. John Ziegert Abstract This work deals with the question of relating open-loop handling metrics to driver- in-the-loop performance (closed-loop). The goal is to allow manufacturers to reduce cost and time associated with vehicle handling development. A vehicle model was built in the CarSim environment using kinematics and compliance, geometrical, and flat track tire data. This model was then compared and validated to testing done at Michelin’s Laurens Proving Grounds using open-loop handling metrics. The open-loop tests conducted for model vali- dation were an understeer test and swept sine or random steer test.
