The Driver in the Driverless Car: How Our Technology Choices Will Create the Future
Meet the authors:
Vivek Wadhwa is a Distinguished Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering. He is a globally syndicated columnist for The Washington Post and author of The Driver in the Driverless Car: How Our Technology Choices Will Create the Future; The Immigrant Exodus: Why America Is Losing the Global Race to Capture Entrepreneurial Talent
Alex Salkever is a writer, futurist and technology leader and surfer (he lived in Hawaii for over a decade chasing his passion). He is the co-author of "The Driver in the Driverless Car: How Our Technology Choices Can Change the Future". The book was named as a Finalist in the 2017 McKinsey / Financial Times Book of the Year Competition

Book Summary
Premise – what future do we want, Mad Max or Star Trek? If we get this right, we can create the amazing future of Star Trek…
Three Questions
Wadhwa offers three questions to ask about every emerging technology:
• Does it have the potential to benefit everyone equally?
• What are its risks and rewards?
• Does it promote autonomy or dependence?
Looking at a broad array of advances in this light, he emphasizes that the future is up to us to create—that even if our hands are not on the wheel, we will decide the driverless car’s destination.
