Reviews
`This is the most comprehensive and thorough study of the relation between automation and mobility. By bringing together the development of automation in both physical and virtual mobilities, Kellerman is not only able to offer a new history of the emergence of automated vehicles in relation to information technology, communications, and artificial intelligence, but also provides well grounded predictions for the future of automation and its social impacts in many forms of mobility. This book will be a crucial resource for mobilities scholars.' -- Mimi Sheller, Drexel University, US
`This is a very welcome book that treats the issue of automated and autonomous mobility in the mind-set of the book series in which it appears. It deals with transport, mobilities, and spatial change, with a strong historical, transport geography, technical, economic and social component. Kellerman has the gift of disentangling complex topics into very comprehensible, structured, and well-written research issues, whereby attention is paid to definitions, conceptualizations, social meanings, and interpretation. An excellent contribution!' -- Frank Witlox, Ghent University, Belgium `No matter how we swing it, automated driving terminates the modern love affair with auto-mobility as we know it. Again, Aharon Kellerman is at the forefront of analyzing contemporary mobilities. He makes us understand the deep and silent metamorphosis of the modern system of (auto)mobility. A must-read for mobilities scholars, cultural geographers as well as practitioners, planners and engineers.' -- Sven Kesselring, Nurtingen-Geislingen University, Germany `This is the most comprehensive and thorough study of the relation between automation and mobility.
