The narrator — left-handed, mid-fifties, and until recently perfectly capable of driving his own car — has acquired a vehicle with an autonomous driving system. The car drives itself. The car decides for itself. The car judges him.
The AI navigation always knows the best route — except when he’s trying to get to the dentist, at which point it discovers 14 alternative paths, all of them through roadworks. The parking assist app syncs with Sandra and sends her real-time reports on his driving behaviour. Brad’s new electric car quietly charges itself using the neighbourhood charging station without asking anyone. And the dashboard voice assistant has a remarkable gift for misunderstanding commands at precisely the most inconvenient moment.
32 self-contained stories about autonomous mobility, AI navigation drama, smart-mobility meltdowns, and a man wondering whether he is still the driver of his own life — or merely a passenger.
Volume 18 of the “Living Left-Handed” series by Edgar van der Sel. For everyone who has ever argued with their sat-nav — and lost.
