A good technology-focused overview of automation, autonomous vehicles, and supporting technology / processes. The book focuses almost exclusively on the technology, unlike many other similar books which focus, in my opinion, too much on the people, which creates a fake heroism for the titans of the industry. This book provides a relatively objective history of the industry and thus fills a gap that is been looking for as a reference.
I suggest this book for anyone in the AV, machine learning, or automation industry, along with those who are interested in learning more about the history and/or technology of these. Now, it is mildly dated today, already, the focus on technology of the day means this book will surely be dated soon, though still providing a great historical reference for years to come.
Even though I have both depth and breadth within the industry, I learned new facts, perspectives, and historical referencesbfromnmy audiobook listen of this great book. Thanksl
