5.0 out of 5 stars A good book if you want to learn about the probable future of autonomous cars.
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great read. Can be wordy
Great read. Can be wordy, opinionated and off topic at times, but your patience is rewarded with good insight on the topic.
5.0 out of 5 stars The arduous journey to self driving cars
“Driverless” by Lipson and Kurman is an intriguing read, and as in their previous book “Fabricated”, 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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Broad ranging discussion of self driving cars
Looks at the current state of the technology. Forward look at the prospects, technical and societal. A good read throughout.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good, thorough read in all things driverless car.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
I liked the detailed explanations into the technology dumbed down enough to understand. The deep/machine learning areas and image processing will inevitably make autonomous driving come to fruition and the impact of not killing a million plus people worldwide every year seems like a pretty good idea. I love the idea of taking my grandkids to the driving park where we can drive like maniacs with a steering wheel, gas pedal and brakes if we want to even if we're drunk or high but if we get out of control, the car takes over.
3.0 out of 5 stars Good and bad
This book deals well with the important issue of gradualism versus the great leap to driverless. But much of the narrative treads old well-trodden ground. It has spelling mistakes and other signs of sloppy work.
5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone looking to learn about the self-driving ecosystem
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.
