Publisher Description: The plain, old-fashioned, human-driven car built the American economy and helped shape our democratic creed. Driver's ed made teenagers into citizens; auto repair made boys into men. For nearly a century, car culture has triumphed. But have we finally reached the end of the road? Fewer young people are learning to drive. Ride hailing is replacing car buying, and with electrification, a long and noble tradition of amateur car repair will soon come to an end. When a robot takes over the driver's seat, what's to become of us? Are We There Yet? carries us from horseless buggies to superhighways, and like any good road trip, it's an adventure so fun you won't even notice how much you've learned along the way. |
