  In the year 2014, Google fired a shot heard all the way to Detroit. 
  Google’s newest driverless car had no steering wheel and no brakes. The message was clear: cars of the future will be born fully autonomous, with no human driver needed. In the coming decade, self-driving cars will hit the streets, rearranging established industries and reshaping cities, giving us new choices in where we live and how we work and play. 
  In this book, Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman offer readers insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars and a lucid and engaging explanation of the enabling technology. Recent advances in software and robotics are toppling long-standing technological barriers that for decades have confined self-driving cars to the realm of fantasy. A new kind of artificial intelligence software called deep learning gives cars rapid and accurate visual perception. Human drivers can relax and take their eyes off the road. 
  When human drivers let intelligent software take the wheel, driverless cars will offer billions of people all over the world a safer, cleaner, and more convenient mode of transportation. Although the technology is nearly ready, car companies and policy makers may not be. The authors make a compelling case for why government, industry, and consumers need to work together to make the development of driverless cars our society’s next “Apollo moment.”

  Isabella Lucy Bird was a 19th century English traveller, writer, and natural historian. She was a sickly child, however, while she was travelling she was almost always healthy. Her first trip, in 1854, took her to America, visiting relatives. Her first book, The Englishwoman in America was published anonymously two years later.Unbeaten Tracks in Japan is compiled of the letters she sent to her sister during her 7 months sojourn in Japan in 1878. Her travels there took her from Edo (now called Tokyo) through the interior - where she was often the first foreigner the locals had met - to Niigata, and from there to Aomori. There she crossed over to Yezo (Hokkaido), and her account on the life of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, provides an interesting glimpse of days long past. (Summary by Availle)

  God's Biker - Motorcycles and...

  Finally an audiobook version of the thought provoking autobiography, God’s Biker, narrated by the author  himself.  A raw and honest, personal story of life on the road and faith with the lid off. 
  Consisting of vulnerable honesty, it describes this somewhat shy son of a preacher’s unlikely journey from the church pew, into the sub-cultural world of motorcycle clubs and the forming of a chaotic church community of ragamuffins. 
  It’s about finding beauty in broken places, and where the walking wounded try to work out their faith against all the odds. From his original home in rural Berkshire in England, to the city of Swansea, in South Wales, this road trip goes via Australia, Ukraine, New Zealand and host of other pit stops, including a town called Hell. But it’s not the places that become transformative, it’s the people you sit with and the stories they share with you. 
  It’s where chaos and disorder sit alongside community and grace at Zac’s Place, a church that looks more like an AA meeting and a hospital casualty department. It’s on the road with Sean, a 30 year member and senior officer of God’s Squad Christian Motorcycle Club, where he faced opposition and physical beatings from those who weren’t so pleased to see him and his mates. It’s about not giving up. 
  God's Biker is an  ongoing story. Just when you think it’s complete, Sean Stillman adds additional material to this audiobook that he didn’t see coming and rocked him to the core of his soul.
