When human drivers let intelligent software take the wheel the beginning of a new era in personal mobility.
“Smart, wide-ranging, [and] nontechnical.â€
―Los Angeles Times
“Anyone who wants to understand what's coming must read this fascinating book.â€
―Martin Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Rise of the Robots
In the year 2014, Google fired a shot heard all the way to Detroit. 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.
In 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.
When 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.â€

"“Driverless†by Lipson and Kurman is an intriguing read, and as in their previous book “Fabricatedâ€, they manage to convey a highly technical subject in a manner that appeals to many readers. “Driverless†takes us on a journey of autonomous vehicles, laden with technical and bureaucratic potholes that misguided the vision for decades. With self driving cars piloting on our roads and challenging mainstream transportation, it is mind boggling to learn how progress can be delayed by academic and governmental dogma. “Driverless†is both an avid narration of the journey to driverless cars and a cautionary tale for many other yet to be conquered quests, that have been eluding our reach for decades."

Driverless MIT Press Intelligent Cars and the Road Ahead The MIT Press Hod Lipson Melba Kurman 9780262534475 Books Reviews
- This is a subject I wanted to know about and this book is a good overview of the history and possible future of the autonomous automobile revolution. The two things I didn’t like was a very heavy and difficult discussion of neural networks and machine learning. I am interested in this but either my brain doesn’t go there easily or the explanation was not done in such a way that I could understand it well. Also, like in many current books “she†is used every time gender might come up. This is obvious social engineering and in my opinion, is so distracting that it takes away from my enjoyment of the book. Or maybe, only females will use driverless cars.
- This was a surprisingly comprehensive read on all aspects of driverless cars - I feel as if I can hold a coherent conversation on the aspects of the technology involved in driverless cars and the progress made (particularly recently) that helps explain why this could actually become a reality. The envisioned future world of driverless cars the authors imagine in the book,and its challenges and improvements, is very impressive and included areas and issues I had not considered before. Highly recommend for anyone interested in AVs and the potential impact they can have on the broader economy.
- Great, up to date, in depth assessment of the current technological, psychological, political landscape for emergent driverless car capabilities. The author does a good job of explaining complicated technology and robotic theories to the layperson.
- “Driverless†by Lipson and Kurman is an intriguing read, and as in their previous book “Fabricatedâ€, they manage to convey a highly technical subject in a manner that appeals to many readers. “Driverless†takes us on a journey of autonomous vehicles, laden with technical and bureaucratic potholes that misguided the vision for decades.

- Excellent handbook to understand all the issues (from regulations to technology) surrounding driverless car concept. All the detailed technocal aspects explained with a plain language
- Looks at the current state of the technology. Forward look at the prospects, technical and societal. A good read throughout.
- Great read. Can be wordy, opinionated and off topic at times, but your patience is rewarded with good insight on the topic.
- This is one of the best books on the market for a thorough and proper overviews of the self-driving revolution and autonomous ecosystem. I'd hope and highly recommend that this would be required reading for students in engineering courses dealing with robotics and control systems and sensor fusion, computer scientists working with AI, machine learning and big data, and ethics and public policy topics.
