Why Self-Driving Car Technology Will Usher in a New Age of Prosperity and Disruption. Robot Automation, Musk, Bezos & the Electric Revolution of the Future

Would you like to know how you'll be getting around town, playing, and working in the future?

At the 2017 World Government Summit, Tesla founder Elon Musk proclaimed: "In 10 years, it will be very unusual for cars to be built that are not fully autonomous."

Take a look at the vehicle sitting in your driveway. It may be the last one you ever own. With an estimated 33 million fully autonomous cars and taxis projected to hit the road by 2040, an automotive renaissance is soon to be upon us. Personal car ownership currently costs the average sedan owner $9,000 annually. But car ownership may soon be a thing of the past.

Autonomous vehicles will be the most disruptive technology ever deployed by mankind.

• They'll change the way we eat, cook, and shop.
• They'll change the way we raise our children and the way we choose our spouses.
• They'll change the way we display our wealth and status.
• They'll change the way we build cities and design our homes.
• They'll change the way we dispense charity and the way we think about work.
• And, most importantly, they'll change the way that we think about each other and the way we see ourselves.

Since 1900, 3.7 million Americans have died in motor vehicle accidents (about 35,000 per year). But we will soon exit these "dark ages" of transportation. Thanks to several recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, we are about to usher in a new age - one in which auto collisions, traffic jams, and road fatalities almost never happen.

Soon, autonomous vehicles (of all shapes and sizes) will roam the city streets - delivering your pizza, dropping off your latest order from Amazon, and safely driving your children to school - under the watchful guidance of a dozen digital sensors.

We're about to embark on a fantastic voyage. A journey that will bring about a new age of technological enlightenment, with the potential to produce a world of great abundance - if we can avoid screwing it all up. In this book, we'll talk about the many potholes that lie on the road to the future. And we'll discuss how you can be economically prepared for the transportation revolution that is currently underway.

Advanced Preview Into the Future

I have a paperback of this book, which is a great read which includes photos and illustrations. The author then narrated this book by himself, so I went ahead and got this audiobook as well. Totally enjoyed the content even for someone who is maybe only 60% tech savvy!

Good First Look Ahead

Good Overview Of The Possible Impact Of Driverless Vehicles On Society. Nobody can predict the future but this book really made me think about the overall implications of autonomous transportation. It opened my eyes to things societally that I hadn't considered. This makes it a great read for anyone concerned with how modernization will affect society in the near future. I would actually have given it 4.5 stars if it was an option. However, it got a little tedious near the end. Overall, I liked it and recommend it.

So insightful

How autonomous vehicles will change the world by author Anthony Raymond is absolutely one of the best books that gives insight and predict what future cars will be provide. This book further shed lights into the features we could be expecting in the future with technological innovation, which has massively helped solve a lot of the past automobile industry statistics.
The Author of this book has provided a thoughtful informations of the effects of automobils and how it will affect the society as well and I found it interesting.Its interesting and highly recommended

Informative!

My son, who is studying aerospace, found the insight in the book interesting. The book gives insight into the features that future cars will provide. It provides insight into the features we could be expecting in the future with technological innovation, which has massively helped solve a lot of the past automobile industry statistics. Men have longed to greatly transverse distance. Flying cars is nothing impossible with technological advancement. Improvement in technology has made this to be what to look for now. It will be interesting to see how all these will be.
Many companies are trying to have self-driven features in cars. The car features will have electricity, solar power, or battery, and It will have an autonomous car with no dashboard. It will have only a seat and interface. Future vehicles will have to be connected with the internet and project future speed. And the fourth feature to see is that it will be paid for via an App. Robot's taxi is what it will be. Most future cars will be delivered and not carrying people.

autonomous vehicles need to be here sooner

I most look forward to fewer deaths and less congestion on the road and in the parking lot. I think a lot of people will still want to be able to drive, so many autonomous vehicles will still be designed with steering wheels for those who want to satiate their desire to be in direct control of something so powerful.

AV Changing the World

Living in LA ,I was completely sold on this book, when I heard "Get rid of Traffic Jams" ,,,Less stop lights and stacked interchanges for AV. The inefficient "Normal auto". I also liked mail from a robot and Meal delivery. Well Audibled and written by Anthony !

Human inventions

Regarding the notion that necessity is the mother of all inventions and that mankind needs ad ed adversity in order to thrive I have some reservations. Einstein said about himself: “I have no special talent, I am just curious beyond belief”. Technology or UBI will not change human nature and income inequality will not be alleviated . I liked the book very much and some of its insights will no doubt help me make a small fortune in the stock market :)

Thought provoking.

Author has provided a thoughtful analysis of the effects of automation on society which I found interesting. Too often technical books aim to be "Gee whiz", which can be fun to read, but are weaker in discussing how this technology will integrate with the world around it. This book deals with these details in appropriate depth, which made this a worthwhile read.

This is my inspiration 🙌

I absolutely loved it! the ideas in this book align perfectly for my overall plan for AI in vehicles! and to think that in 2009 people were laughing at my dream of a "knight rider world", but here is Tesla, AND HERE IS THE FUTURE! in this book, is the damn future.

Most interesting book I've listened to all year!

This book is the most underrated book on audible. Where has this author been hiding all my life? It doesn't matter because he will be famous once people discover this book. This book is jam-packed with the most interesting information on the planet in my opinion. He doesn't spare any detail yet he keeps the information as to the point as possible. Elon musk would be proud. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he endorsed this book one day. It's feels like Elon wrote it himself haha. For the price I paid for this book I almost feel like I was stealing. I mean you get so much information for so cheap that it's pretty much free. Just get this book. It's the only one of its kind.
