Google's newest driverless car had no steering wheel and no brakes. The message was clear: cars of the future will be born fully autonomous, with no human driver needed. In the coming decade, self-driving cars will hit the streets, rearranging established industries and reshaping cities, giving us new choices in where we live and how we work and play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman offer readers insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars and a lucid and engaging explanation of the enabling technology. Recent advances in software and robotics are toppling long-standing technological barriers that for decades have confined self-driving cars to the realm of fantasy. A new kind of artificial intelligence software called deep learning gives cars rapid and accurate visual perception. Human drivers can relax and take their eyes off the road. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen human drivers let intelligent software take the wheel, driverless cars will offer billions of people all over the world a safer, cleaner, and more convenient mode of transportation. Although the technology is nearly ready, car companies and policy makers may not be. The authors make a compelling case for why government, industry, and consumers need to work together to make the development of driverless cars our society's next Apollo moment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509730681105,"sku":"GOR010025031","price":17.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347524784401,"sku":"CIN0262534479VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52131435151633,"sku":"NLS9780262534475","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262534479.jpg?v=1751164883","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/driverless-book-hod-lipson-9780262534475","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
