Automobility Futures

We might have reached peak car or perhaps gone over the hill. However, what futures of Automobility are on the horizon? What futures do we want? Who’s ‘we’? How do car based automobilities relate to autonomous vehicles? How do they relate to the auto mobilities of walking, wheeling and other forms of autonomous human mobilities? What is the informational footprint/nervous system of these automobilities? How do these phenomena shape what it means to be human, societies and the planet? WHat are ethical, legal, social, political, environmental implications?

How do you research this? How should we research this? And who’s we here? Surely it’s a matter of co-creating automobility futures. But how?
