Summary:
Davies tells the fascinating story of the futurists who are determined to put self-driving cars on the road. His account begins with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the people who invented the Internet. The agency launched a series of robot races attracted visionaries who took self-driving technology to near reality. Eventually Detroit automakers realized that they had to pursue this technology or risk becoming obsolete. The competition remains intense-- and their quest will change our lives. -- adapted from jacket
