Smart Mobility in Practice: Good Car, Bad Car, No Car – Is this the End of Nurturing Our Mobility DNA?

This non-fiction, yet storytelling, book questions the role of cars and their impact, both for now and in the future. It is not enough to just consider autonomous driving, driving bans in Europe, and combustion engines. Our future and the future of our cities and country living depend on how we are able to coordinate different needs and different means. Finally, we ask ourselves: What is the status of the car today and in the future? Are we living and working in vehicles more than ever? And who benefits from autonomous driving and what are we giving up for it? In this book, the editor's work illustrates and critically assesses the role of cars. It showcases project examples and introduces easy-to-use checklists.
