Feature: Does the future of driving even involve driving?
from Afternoons
For years self-driving cars felt like a technology that was always just over the horizon. Now they're here. In parts of the United States and China, fully autonomous vehicles are already carrying passengers without anyone behind the wheel. Dr Andrew Miller writes about the future of mobility in his newsletter Changing Lanes. He says we're approaching a major turning point in transport, one that could make roads safer and cities more liveable. But the biggest questions are no longer technological. They're about how we choose to use driverless cars and what role we want them to play in our communities.
