Would you like to know what your life will be like in the next decade?Are you curious to learn about how you’ll be getting around town, where you’ll be working, and what the future has in store for your family? 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 medium-sized sedan owner $9,282 annually. But personal car ownership may soon be a thing of the past. The A.I.-powered machines of the future will be doing the driving for us. Autonomous vehicles will be the most disruptive technology ever deployed by mankind.They’ll change the way we live, work, and play.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. With over 150 renderings, diagrams, and illustrations, this book is an accessible, non-technical, and inspiring tour of the latter 21st century; and of the marvelous machines that will soon be chauffeuring you around town.
