Introduction
Chapter 1 introduces the main topics and provides an outline of the book. It briefly discusses the application of vehicle dynamics in vehicle design, the required background of the reader, and the system approach. It emphasizes the importance of tire–road contact, the vehicle–driver interface, and the distinction between linear and nonlinear extreme vehicle behavior.
