Driverless

More about the book

In the coming decade, self-driving cars will hit the streets, rearranging established industries and reshaping cities, giving us new choices in where we live and how we work and play. In "Driverless", Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman offer readers insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars and lucid and engaging explanation of the enabling technology. When human drivers let intelligent software take the wheel, driverless cars will offer billions of people all over the world a safer, cleaner, and more convenient mode of transportation. Although the technology is nearly ready, car companies and policy makers may not be. The authors make a compelling case for why government, industry, and consumers need to work together to make the development of driverless cars our society's next "Apollo moment." -- From publisher's description
