Cars are one of the most significant human creations. They changed our cities. They changed our lives. They changed everything.

Or will we watch robots race a bionic Lewis Hamilton? And what about the future of classic cars?

From mobile hotel rooms to electric battery technology; from hydrogen-powered cars to jetpacks, Autopia is the essential guide to the future of our greatest invention. Fully designed with illustrations and photographs, this will be the perfect Christmas gift for car and technology enthusiasts everywhere.
