One book that has profoundly influenced my understanding of the future of mobility and automotive technology is "The Road Ahead" by Bill Gates. Though written in the mid-90s, its insights into how technology would transform various industries, including automotive, have proven remarkably prescient. Gates discusses the potential of autonomous vehicles, connected car systems, and the impact of software on driving experiences, all of which are highly relevant today. The book provides a foundational understanding of the technological advancements that continue to shape the automotive sector. I hope this helps.

As an amateur go-kart race car driver I always loved "Autonomy: The Quest to Build the Driverless Car—And How It Will Reshape Our World" by Lawrence D. Burns. This book delves into the development of autonomous vehicles and how they have the potential to revolutionize transportation as we know it. It discusses the technology, policy implications, and societal impacts of self-driving cars, providing a comprehensive look at the future of mobility.
