Summary |
In 2014, Google fired a shot heard all the way to Detroit. Google's newest driverless car had no steering wheel and no brakes. The message was clear: cars of the future will be fully autonomous, with no human driver needed. In the coming decade, self-driving cars hitting the streets will rearrange industries, reshape cities, and change how people live, work, and play. For decades, self-driving cars were only in the realm of fantasy, but new artificial intelligence software gives cars rapid and accurate visual perception. The authors offer insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars and a lucid explanation of their technology. Driverless cars will offer people worldwide safer, cleaner, more convenient transportation. Though the technology is nearly ready, car companies and policy makers may not be. The authors discuss how government, industry, and consumers could work together to make these cars our next "Apollo moment." |
