Recensioner i media
"Driving decisions is an insightful and timely examination of the world of autonomous vehicles. ... The book centers around the concept of algorithmic decision-making ... . The book is grounded in seven years of research and draws from diverse fields like media studies, science and technology studies (STS), and digital geography. Its strength lies in its methodical, behind-the-scenes look at how decisions are crafted--not made--by both humans and machines." (R. S. Chang, Computing Reviews, April 30, 2025)
