2. Self-Driving Cars: The New Way Forward
2018 by Michael Fallon



Michael Fallon takes us on a ride through the history, technology and occasional mishap of autonomous vehicles in Self-Driving Cars: The New Way Forward. From the early, comically unreliable attempts to make cars drive themselves to the almost-magical software that keeps today’s versions on the road, this book covers it all, including the controversies that arise when machines start thinking they're as clever as us. Fallon’s exploration includes the triumphs, the roadblocks and the ongoing debate on whether mass adoption of self-driving cars will mean salvation for commuters or just a whole new set of weird road problems. It’s a look at how automation might just be our future, or, at the very least, an entertaining way to get stuck in traffic.
