Cyber Cruisers: Connected Cars and the Data Race

By Luca Carrera

Once, cars were simple machines - engines, wheels, and the open road. Today, they are rolling supercomputers, whispering streams of data to satellites, servers, and each other. In Cyber Cruisers: Connected Cars and the Data Race, we take a vivid, exhilarating journey into the high-speed collision of horsepower and megabytes.

From the birth of over-the-air updates to the rise of artificial intelligence on the highway, from subscription-based features to the global competition to dominate connected mobility, this book unpacks the technologies, tensions, and cultural shifts reshaping the very meaning of "driving." Along the way, you'll meet the engineers, hackers, dreamers, and rebels defining the future - and discover how nostalgia for manual gearboxes and roaring engines can still survive in a world designed by algorithms.

Both a thrilling ride through cutting-edge innovation and a thoughtful reflection on our timeless desire for freedom on four wheels, Cyber Cruisers shows that even as our cars evolve into smarter, faster, and more connected companions, our dreams of the road ahead remain gloriously alive.
