We might be on the brink of the future where we all will be riding in autonomous vehicles and zooming in self-driving cars. It is easy to focus on what to come and forget that 16 years ago, autonomous driving was a dream and a lot of chaos. Alex Davies has written  Driven: The Race to Create the Autonomous Car, a book chronicling it all. Wired magazine recently ran an excerpt. It is my recommended read of the day.
