Driverless Cars - A Road to Nowhere?
The transport economist Christian Wolmar has a new book out from the London Publishing Partnership exploring the hype and the reality of the rise of autonomous vehicles.
Wolmar is arguably the UK’s leading railway expert and transport historian and therefore eminently well-placed to understand the speed at which driverless cars might become mainstream. Diane Coyle has described Wolmar as "trenchantly sceptical about the techno-hype."
My book on why driverless cars are a fantasy dreamt up by the tech and auto companies is now available to pre-order. Essential reading for anyone interested in this subject,even if I say so! https://t.co/7gU0P86Ag9

Interesting: Volvo knocks back its driverless car programme by four years, saying technology not ready. I suspect this will be first in a long series of 'delays' announced by auto industry. Tks to @Citizeneastend for highlighting this https://t.co/A1VNoGsSek
