About the Author: Sam Schwartz, a.
The fleets are getting ready to roll and nothing will ever be the same, and this book shows us what the Future has in store.
Right now, every major car maker here and abRoad is working on bringing autonomous vehicles to consumers.
And, like every other computer-controlled device, it can be vulnerable to hacking.
It will cause us to grapple with new ethical dilemmas-if a car will hit a person or a building, endangering the lives of its passengers, who will decide what it does? It will further erode our privacy, since the vehicle can relay our location at any moment.
It will overturn the job market for the one in seven Americans who work in the trucking industry.
The ramifications will be dramatic, and the transition will be far from seamless.
Is this an impossible future, or a revolution just around the corner? Sam Schwartz, America\'s most celebrated transportation guru, describes in this book the revolution in self-driving cars.
Driving will become illegal, as human drivers will be demonstrably more dangerous than Cars that pilot themselves.
Our time at the wheel is done.
