Driverless cars PCMDE september 2016 cover

They're closer than you think, and more revolutionary than you can imagine: Driverless cars are already hitting the road, and our in-depth cover story delves into the many ways in which they'll change our world. Check out Doug Newcomb's opinion column, too, for more on this topic: "Autonomous Cars Will Usher in Things We Never Saw Coming."

Not only are our cars getting all teched out—so are we humans. Will human augmentation be a hard sell for mainstream folks? Also, we investigate the future of home entertainment—what we'll watch and how we'll watch it. And our reporter gets to go hands on (the wheel) with the slick, high-tech Cadillac 2016 CT6.

In reviews this month: The Nikon D5, the company's top-tier digital SLR; the Microsoft Xbox One S; the Asus VivoMini SFF PC; Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2017; and Windows 10's Anniversary Update, and lots more.

As for your digital life, we tell you how to access your Wi-Fi router's settings, even if you haven't looked at them since you first set it up; find out how to master email in iOS; and useful apps for jumpstarting your social life at college.

Finally, in Last Word, Dvorak tells us why our email will never be safe. Ever!

About Carol Mangis

Managing Editor

My first editorial job (as a nascent copy editor) was at PC Magazine. I started working here in 1997, when print was huge (as was the magazine itself), personal computers were well on the way to becoming mainstream, smartphones didn’t exist, and floppy disks were de rigueur. I worked up to Senior Editor, then left in 2010 for Consumer Reports to work for its electronics team. After spending one lost year in marketing, I happily returned to PCMag in 2016 to edit and produce the PCMag Digital Edition, which I’m still doing today, along with various other projects as they arise.
