'A fascinating hybrid. Part freewheeling history of the rise of the
modern autonomous vehicle, part intimate memoir from an insider who
was on the front lines for much of that history, Autonomy will more
than bring readers up to speed on one of today's most closely
watched technologies' Brian Merchant, author of The One Device From
the ultimate insider - a former General Motors executive and
current advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car project - comes the
definitive story of the race between Google, Tesla and Uber to
create the driverless car. We stand on the brink of a technological
revolution. In the near future, most of us will not own
automobiles, but will travel instead in driverless electric
vehicles summoned at the touch of an app. We will be liberated from
driving, so that the time we spend in cars can be put to more
productive use. We will prevent more than 90 percent of car
crashes, provide freedom of mobility to the elderly and disabled
and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. Autonomy tells the
story of the maverick engineers and computer experts who triggered
the revolution. Lawrence Burns - long-time adviser to the Google
self-driving car project (now Waymo) and former corporate vice
president of research, development and planning at General Motors -
provides the perfectly timed history of how we arrived at this
point, in a character-driven and vivid account of the unlikely
thinkers who accomplished what billion-dollar automakers never
dared. Beginning at a 2004 off-road robot race across the Mojave
Desert with a million-dollar purse and continuing up to the current
stampede to develop driverless technology, Autonomy is a
page-turning chronicle of the past, a diagnosis of the present and
a prediction of the future - the ultimate guide to understanding
the driverless car and to navigating the revolution it has sparked.
