Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 20:25, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to this so open to learning. I added an important piece of history to the Autonomous Car page. I then added a valid reference, a book I happened to have written but it is totally valid. Then I saw "Other reading" and thought the book would be useful. It is used in college courses etc. So please let me know specifically where (or if) I crossed a line. Thanks!
