I was sent a copy of Robot, Take the Wheel : The Road to Autonomous Cars and the Lost Art of Driving in exchange for this review.
Charlie and David have always loved cars and learning how they work. In Homeschool we can teach what our children love fostering there love of learning.
Which is why I wanted to read Robot, Take the Wheel : The Road to Autonomous Cars and the Lost Art of Driving because I knew I would be able to teach Charlie things he didn’t know about Automobiles and what might happen if we had self-driving cars. Could you imagine that?
As I read through Robot, Take the Wheel : The Road to Autonomous Cars and the Lost Art of Driving I kept finding new Lessons Charlie and I could study using this new book.
Including Spelling , Art and Creative Writing then we could share what we learned with David.
When Charlie was little he loved Robots and creating and designing them out of wood but as he got older he didn’t want to have anything to do with Robots.
But after reading Robot, Take the Wheel : The Road to Autonomous Cars and the Lost Art of Driving Charlie has found his love for Robots and in class this year Charlie wants to see if he can come up with a self-driving car and a Robot to ride in the car.
I can’t wait to watch Charlie build and learn and refer back to Robot, Take the Wheel : The Road to Autonomous Cars and the Lost Art of Driving which will help improve his reading. I also believe this will bring Charlie closer together.
About:
From the star of the YouTube sensation Jason Drives, the senior editor of the acclaimed website Jalopnik, and a producer of Jay Leno’s Garage comes the wittiest and most insightful guide yet to self-driving cars and the road ahead.
Self-driving cars sound fantastical and futuristic and yet they’ll soon be on every street in America. Whether it’s Tesla’s Autopilot, Google’s Waymo, Mercedes’s Distronic, or Uber’s modified Volvos, companies around the world are developing autonomous cars. But why? And what will they mean for the auto industry and humanity at large?
In Robot, Take the Wheel, famed automotive expert Jason Torchinsky gives a colorful account of the development of autonomous vehicles and their likely implications.
Torchinsky encourages us to think of self-driving cars as an entirely new machine, something beyond cars as we understand them today. He considers how humans will get along with these robots that will take over our cars’ jobs, what they will look like, what sorts of jobs they may do, what we can expect of them, how they should act, ethically, how we can trick them and have fun with them, and how we can make sure there’s still a place for those of us who love to drive, especially with a manual transmission.
This vibrant volume brims with insider information. It explores what’s ahead and considers what we can do now to shape the automated future.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
