Transportation writer Andrew Miller is pushing his vision for an autonomous future as his new co-authored book, The End of Driving, gains traction. On the podcast Hard Fork, host Ross Douthat introduced Miller as a guest who is "very optimistic about a future where the cars take over."
Miller, who outlines his transportation policy ideas on his Substack Changing Lanes, pointed out that autonomous vehicles are already active. In a follow-up segment, Ross Douthat wrapped up their regional policy discussion by saying, "Andrew Miller, thank you so much for joining me."
As self-driving technology prepares to expand to "just about every big city in America," the cultural divide between traditional drivers and autonomous vehicle advocates is set to intensify. Whether Miller's optimistic timeline holds remains to be seen.
