About this listen

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.

Lots of food for thought. There are many avenues autonomy can take and you have managed to capture the essence of many of these.

I've been so intrigued by self-driving cars ever since I heard about them. The thought that you could do work, read a book, etc, while a car takes you safely to your destination seemed like something so far in the future, I may never see it in my lifetime. This audiobook gave me such a good knowledge base on the electric cars and the autonomous driving revolution, and it's coming quicker than I thought. It helped me completely understand the concepts where now I'm able to have a conversation on the topic with people and not feel uneducated on the subject. The narration is fantastic and crisp! I am hoping to see more audiobooks on this topic from the author.

This is a very thorough book about the impact of autonomous vehicles on our everyday lives. It explores the most likely changes in most areas of our lives and I've found it fascinating. To me, the most surprising change which is likely to happen it that in the future people will no longer own their own cars. There are several other changes which I didn't think of and which are very well explained.

A very enlightening book about our future

Wow. Just wow. This is one of the most comprehensive books I've ever listened to on a topic. Anthony Raymond has gone out to find the deepest, most intrepid view of the autonomous vehicle revolution and boy did he find it. This book covers everything from how the "city" as we know it will change due to differences in transportation habits... to how motor vehicle accidents could become a thing of the past... to the elimination of the idea of car ownership. It's a truly fascinating look at a piece of technology that many people understand on the surface, but aren't truly aware of the sheer potential of this industry.

Hats off, because this book will be hard to beat.

Incredibly well researched
