Publisher's summary

Cars are one of the most significant human creations. They changed our cities. They changed our lives. They changed everything. But in the next 30 years, this technology will itself change enormously. If Google gets its way, are we all going to be ferried around in tiny electric bubble-cars? Or will we watch robots race a bionic Lewis Hamilton? And what about the future of classic cars?

In Autopia, presenter of The Gadget Show and former executive producer of Top Gear Jon Bentley celebrates motoring's rich heritage and meets the engineers (and coders) who are transforming cars forever.

From mobile hotel rooms to electric battery technology, from hydrogen-powered cars to jetpacks, Autopia is the essential guide to the future of our greatest invention. This audiobook is perfect for car and technology enthusiasts everywhere.
