On the Road to Autonomy

I've covered science and technology issues ranging from computer security and consumer electronics to AI and de-extinction for over 25 years. I am a bioethicist and have been a long-time contributor to The New York Times and a Contributing Editor at Tom's Guide.  

I was a contributing editor at PC Magazine for 12 years, the smart cities columnist at Digital Trends, the television on-air technology contributor for CBS News Up to the Minute for 17 years, and have  written for publications ranging from U.S. News & World Report and Esquire to Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly.

 

In all my years of testing, reviewing, and researching, few technologies--outside of medical therapies--have promised to so radically change our world like the coming revolution of autonomous vehicles. Not only will the changes save lives and reduce pollution, self-driving vehicles and the associated electrification of cars and trucks will transform our socioeconomic infrastructure in ways we cannot yet imagine.

​

OntheRoadtoAutonomy is focused on that transformation, offering links to relevant articles, and hopefully directing your attention to other reliable sources of news on the promise and pitfalls of autonomous vehicles.

​

Enjoy the ride.
