Description

Ghost Road Beyond the Driverless Car by Anthony M Townsend explores the transformative impact of autonomous vehicles on our daily lives and cities. As self-driving technology advances, it's becoming clear that the driverless car is just the beginning - buses, bikes, delivery vans, and even buildings will soon be affected. The future of transportation holds both promise and concern. Technology has the potential to make our commutes safer, smoother, and more efficient, while also turbocharging the demand for instant delivery of goods. This shift will have far-reaching consequences for how we work, shop, and play, as well as the way corporations link automated machines to the cloud. This book serves as a warning and a beacon, shedding light on the choices we must make as societies and individuals to shape our future in driverless vehicles.
