Samenvatting
Autonomous vehicles are an emerging technology that can fundamentally change how our society moves and lives. The authors reviewed the infant literature of 185 peer-reviewed articles on the social context of an AV-enabled mobility future. They developed a taxonomy based on sociomobility that illustrates how AVs reinforce the status-quo in our society as AV-mobility is primarily defined as an auto issue and not a mobility question. Absent from the literature are alternate mobility scenarios, land-use interactions, livability, the transition period when both AVs and human drivers occupy road space, and impacts on the natural environment.
