1. Autonomous Driving Changes the Future
2020 by Zhanxiang Chai, Tianxin Nie, Jan Becker
Autonomous Driving Changes the Future: a book that boldly goes where no car has gone before, weaving together the epic tale of how autonomous vehicles are not just the stuff of science fiction, but very nearly the reason your toaster might develop self-esteem issues. With a historical deep dive that starts somewhere around the invention of the wheel and ends at your favorite smart car trying to read classical Chinese poetry to impress you, it’s equal parts technological marvel and existential crisis. Complete with tables that look suspiciously like they’re plotting world domination and figures that probably know more about traffic laws than you do, this book is perfect for anyone curious about the future of mobility—or just wondering if their car will someday write poetry better than they can. Whether you’re a student of engineering or just trying to figure out how to parallel park before the machines laugh at you, this is the guide to the brave new road ahead.

2. Self-Driving Cars: The New Way Forward
2018 by Michael Fallon
Michael Fallon takes us on a ride through the history, technology and occasional mishap of autonomous vehicles in Self-Driving Cars: The New Way Forward. From the early, comically unreliable attempts to make cars drive themselves to the almost-magical software that keeps today’s versions on the road, this book covers it all, including the controversies that arise when machines start thinking they're as clever as us. Fallon’s exploration includes the triumphs, the roadblocks and the ongoing debate on whether mass adoption of self-driving cars will mean salvation for commuters or just a whole new set of weird road problems. It’s a look at how automation might just be our future, or, at the very least, an entertaining way to get stuck in traffic.

3. Automated and Autonomous Spatial Mobilities
2018 by Aharon Kellerman
In a universe not entirely unlike our own, where humans have decided walking is far too tedious and driving is far too error-prone, Automated and Autonomous Spatial Mobilities embarks on a wild ride through the kaleidoscopic future of how we move—or rather, how we’ll let things move us. From cities brimming with self-assured autonomous vehicles that occasionally ponder the meaning of traffic to landscapes reimagined as playgrounds for artificially intelligent chauffeurs, this book deftly unpacks the marvelously chaotic consequences of letting machines handle the logistics. A must-read for scholars, planners and anyone curious about a world where the phrase “are we there yet?” might soon be a thing of the past—or just reprogrammed.
