Popular Mechanics in September

The new issue of Popular Mechanics magazine is devoted to cars. Editors asked experts for their opinions on where the auto industry is headed – and not only with regard to electric cars. The time is coming when the steering wheel disappears from salons, when cars begin silently communicating with each other through the cloud, and when road accidents finally become a thing of the past. Read about it in this no-longer-so-implausible story.
