Description

Driverless America is an exploration of how automated vehicles will impact our society when most Americans choose automated vehicles.Over the next couple of decades, the way we live in the United States will undergo another large transformation due to a change in transportation. This time, the change will be due to most of us choosing to use driverless electric vehicles via subscription rather than owning and driving gasoline-powered autos. The change in transportation will affect many aspects of our lives and the surrounding landscape. This book predicts how the change to automated vehicles will affect older people, younger people, disabled people, commuters, tourists, rural residents, land uses, businesses, institutions, and the environment.
