Autoutopia. The Future of Cars

Cars are perhaps the most important invention of humanity after the wheel. They have fundamentally changed our cities and our lives, but in the next 30 years, significant changes await them. So in what direction will technologies go? If Google... secures the leading position in the market, we will all be zipping along the roads in tiny electric cars that look like soap bubbles. Or will we witness races involving robots and bionic pilots? And what will become of classic cars? In these pages, automotive expert John Bentley reminisces about the glorious history of car manufacturing and talks with engineers and programmers who are forever changing cars. What has emerged is a handy guide to the future transformations of our personal transport, from hydrogen-fueled cars to flying models with jet engines. An engaging read for everyone who believes that the sound of an engine is not an empty noise.
