“Jason Torchinsky is a unique blend of dork, car guy, and intellectual all rolled into one. He really makes readers feel like they are riding along with him.”
\u2014 Jay Leno<\/b><\/p>\n
From the witty senior editor of Jalopnik, Gizmodo Media\u2019s acclaimed website devoted to cars, technology, and more, comes a revealing, savvy, and humorous look at self-driving cars.<\/b><\/p>\n
Self-driving cars sound fantastical and futuristic and yet they\u2019ll soon be on every street in America and beyond. Whether it\u2019s Tesla\u2019s Autopilot, Google\u2019s Waymo, Mercedes\u2019s Distronic, or Uber\u2019s 24,000 modified Volvos, companies across industries and throughout the world are developing autonomous cars.<\/p>\n
In Robot, Take the Wheel, Jason Torchinsky explores the state of the automotive industry. Through wit and wisdom, he explains why autonomous cars are being made and what the future of automated cars is. Torchinsky encourages us to consider autonomous cars as an entirely new machine, something beyond cars as we understand them today. He considers how we\u2019ll get along with these robots that will take over our cars’ jobs, what they will look like, what sorts of jobs they may do, what we can expect of them, how they should act, ethically, how we can have fun with them, and how we can make sure there\u2019s still a place for those of us who love to drive with manual or automatic transmission.<\/p>\n
This unique and highly readable volume is brimming with industry insider information and destined to be a conversation starter. It\u2019s a must-have for car lovers, technology geeks, and everyone who wants to know what\u2019s on the road ahead.<\/p>\n
