Autopia

Cars are one of the most significant human creations. They changed our cities. They changed our lives. They changed everything. But in the next thirty years, this technology will itself transform. Are we all going to be ferried around in tiny electric pods? Or will we watch autonomous cars race each other? And should we start worrying more about car hackers than car thieves? In Autopia, gadget fiend and all-round car nut Jon Bentley celebrates motoring's rich heritage and meets the engineers who are changing cars forever. From mobile rooms to supercapacitors and batteries; from hydrogen-power to reimagined classics, Autopia is the essential guide to the future of our greatest invention. Fully designed with illustrations and photographs, it will delight motoring enthusiasts everywhere.
