" Robot, Take The Wheel is an entertaining yet serious examination of what automation is and how it applies to our favorite pastime: driving." -- Automoblog "It's a great book. I encourage you to check it out." -- In Wheel Time "One of my favorite guests on the Tonight Show was an astronaut named Story Musgrave. Although not as famous as Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin, Story was not only an astronaut, he was also a physicist, an academic, and a philosopher. He could translate space travel into words and pictures that people could really understand. I like to think of Jason as my automotive astronaut, able to take his experiences and really make the reader feel like they are riding along with him. Jason is a unique blend of dork, car guy, and intellectual all rolled into one." -- Jay Leno , host of Jay Leno's Garage and former host of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno "Everything you wanted to know about autonomous vehicles but were afraid to ask. This delightfully written book by the longtime Jalopnik contributor is an essential guide to how driverless vehicles work--and how they have the potential to dramatically reshape society." -- Curbed, "One of my favorite guests on the Tonight Show was an astronaut named Story Musgrave.

Synopsis
From the star of the YouTube sensation Jason Drives , the senior editor of the acclaimed website Jalopnik, and a producer of Jay Leno's Garage comes the wittiest and most insightful guide yet to self-driving cars and the road ahead.

Self-driving cars sound fantastical and futuristic and yet they'll soon be on every street in America. Whether it's Tesla's Autopilot, Google's Waymo, Mercedes's Distronic, or Uber's modified Volvos, companies around the world are developing autonomous cars. But why? And what will they mean for the auto industry and humanity at large? In Robot, Take the Wheel , famed automotive expert Jason Torchinsky gives a colorful account of the development of autonomous vehicles and their likely implications. Torchinsky encourages us to think of self-driving cars as an entirely new machine, something beyond cars as we understand them today. He considers how humans will get along with these robots that will take over our cars' jobs, what they will look like, what sorts of jobs they may do, what we can expect of them, how they should act, ethically, how we can trick them and have fun with them, and how we can make sure there's still a place for those of us who love to drive, especially with a manual transmission. This vibrant volume brims with insider information. It explores what's ahead and considers what we can do now to shape the automated future., From famed automotive journalist Jason Torchinsky comes a witty insider's guide to self-driving cars, the automated future, and the road ahead.

    The book was shipped very quickly and arrived exceptionally well-packaged. It was essentially as described in the listing--no surprise there. I would highly recommend this seller for a very positive experience. This book (Vol. 4) represents one more in my quest to have a complete set of all 15. Still looking for Vols. 5 and 14 in as good a shape as your Vol 4. If you can help me there, shoot me an e-mail Larry-BOS. Thanks
