Infos

[Dan Albert] has a way of bringing automotive history to life. Jason Fogelson, ForbesThe plain, old-fashioned, human-driven car built the American economy and helped shape our democratic creed. Drivers ed made teenagers into citizens; auto repair made boys into men. For nearly a century, car culture has triumphed. But have we finally reached the end of the road? Fewer young people are learning to drive. Ride hailing is replacing car buying, and with electrification, a long and noble tradition of amateur car repair will soon come to an end.When a robot takes over the drivers seat, whats to become of us? Are We There Yet? carries us from horseless buggies to superhighways, and like any good road trip, its an adventure so fun you wont even notice how much youve learned along the way.
