A dystopian science fiction story about the nightmare of self-driving cars

Melbourne’s Deakin University commissioned Cory Doctorow to write a science fiction story about the design and regulation of self-driving cars, inspired by his essay about the misapplication of the “Trolley Problem” to autonomous vehicles.

The story, Car Wars, takes the form of a series of vignettes that illustrate the problem with designing cars to control their drivers, interspersed with survey questions to spur discussion of the wider issues of governments and manufacturers being able to control the operation of devices we own and depend on.
