Automated Vehicles

A penetrating look at near-future disruption as truly autonomous vehicles arrive.   

The open road has always whispered promises of freedom and possibility. For generations, the steering wheel has represented the key to unlocking that freedom, the conduit connecting our dreams to the endless ribbon of asphalt. But what if the wheel became obsolete? What if a new era dawned, where cars piloted themselves, seamlessly navigating the complexities of traffic and transforming our very concept of transportation? This book is your roadmap to that driverless revolution. We'll delve into the intricate workings of self-driving car technology, exploring the sensors that perceive the ...

Advanced automotive transmissions are no longer a niche topic—they are at the heart of modern vehicle design, performance, and efficiency. While many resources focus on traditional gearboxes or CVTs, very few provide a comprehensive, hands-on guide covering the full spectrum of transmission technologies beyond CVT: wet and dry dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs), automated manual transmissions (AMTs), traditional automatics, Tiptronic/manual-shift systems, and hybrid/electric drivetrains. This book builds on the foundation laid in my previous work, "Mastering CVT Transmissions", which ...
