Driverless Urban Futures: A Speculative Atlas

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Annalisa Meyboom & Lorinc Vass

When introduced in the near future, driverless cars are anticipated to be the first independent robots widely encountered by the public. Capable of sensing and navigating their surroundings, they are the embodiments of a digitally-networked future urban ecology, characterized by a paradigm shift in the relationship between vehicles, users, infrastructure, material flows, and the built environment at large. Driverless UrbanFutures is a drawing-based research project that maps the possible spatial and social impacts of driverless technology on the city of the near-future.
