Called the “way of the future,” self-driving cars are almost here, but are we ready? And how will they affect modern society? Celebrated journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell leads this first cinematic look at the cutting-edge, yet elusive, world of autonomous vehicles inspired by a breakout issue of Car and Driver magazine. Pushing beyond the technology, the film zooms around the world to see the latest “AV’s” in action and meet the people impacted by this rapidly growing phenomenon. Featuring interviews with industry pioneers that straddle the line between caution and optimism, Autonomy is an essential primer for anyone interested in the future of the automobile and the coming revolution in mobility.

Includes post-screening Skype Q&A with director Alex Horwitz, moderated by Garvia Bailey, co-founder and host/producer of jazzcast.ca.
