The Social and Legal Impact of Autonomous Vehicles

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'The book is a thought-provoking contribution to a debate that is not just important but unavoidable.' -- James Wilson FRHistS, The Law Society Gazette 'Autonomous vehicles are here and artificial intelligence is racing ahead. Yet our public conversations and policy on self-driving cars are thin and pervaded with fear and irrationalities. The Social and Legal Impact of Autonomous Vehicles is a thought-provoking, smart, and rich inquiry that provides an informed framework and fascinating vision of how transportation, as well as cities, jobs, and societies will inevitably transform. Through engaging insights and forward-thinking perspectives, it offers a balanced and optimistic outlook on how we can adapt to a future where innovation and human values coexist on a safer, more efficient road.' -- Orly Lobel, University of San Diego, USA 'The book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the challenges and opportunities presented by autonomous vehicles. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, engineers, legal professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the future of transportation. The book paves the way for the important discussion about the impact of emerging technology on our society and our laws.' -- Giuseppina D'Agostino, York University, Canada 'The potential benefits of autonomous driving ensure that AVs will become increasingly prevalent on our streets. But the schedule for this transformation, and who will most benefit, will be determined by a complex interaction between technological, legal and societal factors. In this comprehensive volume, Seidman and Gaon skillfully bring together these threads to provide a thoughtful and entertaining overview of the core issues involved, and especially how risks can be mitigated. Recommended reading for anyone interested in the future of mobility!' -- James Elder, York University, Canada 'Metropolitan regions around the world have been transformed over the past century by revolutions in transportation-from streetcar suburbs to modern sprawl-and we stand on the brink of an equally consequential transformation: autonomous vehicles (AVs). At this critical juncture, Guy Seidman and Aviv Gaon have provided an extremely timely guide to the social, economic, and regulatory consequences of a technological disruption unfolding on the streets of cities at this very moment. Essential reading for regulators, urbanists, and anyone else staring in curiosity at all those cars bristling with sensors on top roll by.' -- Nestor M. Davidson, Fordham University, USA
