Self-driving vehicles finally arrive. But so do the terrorists.
A riveting story raising questions about the security of artificial intelligence and self-driving cars.
Fed up with slogging through L.A. traffic to get to work, Jake Bendel and a team of experts create a roadway system for self-driving cars — preventing thousands of traffic deaths and reducing commute times from hours to minutes.
For three months there's been no traffic congestion. No accidents. No fatalities. People finally feel safe in their cars. But should they?
Disaster strikes when a supposed glitch causes a deadly attack on a busy California freeway, and the FBI begins connecting dots to a larger terrorist conspiracy at play.
Viktor, a tormented psychopath and the mastermind behind the ruthless attack, is driven by the voices in his head who guide his every move. While he and his brothers mercilessly annihilate Americans, Viktor plants evidence that convinces the public Jake is the architect behind the most heinous terrorist attack in U.S. history.
But one rogue FBI agent believes Jake is innocent. Together they must race against the clock to stop a potentially fatal national attack that could claim the lives of millions of Americans in a matter of seconds.
A gripping tale from the first page to the last, this fast-paced thriller from a real-life traffic engineer will make you think twice about the looming autonomous vehicle revolution.
