Anthony M. Townsend's \u003ci\u003eGhost Road\u003c\/i\u003e argues convincingly that the driverless car is a red herring. When self-driving technology infects buses, bikes, delivery vans, and even buildings, a wild, woollier future awaits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnology will transform life behind the wheel into a hi-def video game that makes our ride safer, smoother, and more efficient. Meanwhile, autonomous vehicles will turbocharge our appetite for the instant delivery of goods, making the future as much about moving stuff as it is about moving people. For-profit companies will link the automated machines that move us to the cloud, raising concerns about mobility monopolies and the privatization of \"the curb.\" Our cities and towns will change as we embrace new ways to get around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGhost Road\u003c\/i\u003e explains where we might be headed together in driverless vehicles, and the choices we must make as societies and individuals to shape that future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470744109292,"sku":"9781324001522","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781324001522-ghost-road.jpg?v=1775224838","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/ghost-road-by-anthony-m-townsend-9781324001522","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
