SCOPE
Autonomous driving technology is around the corner. The admission of the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) mobility in our lives poses a societal challenge in a changing world, where inclusive, innovative and reflective societies foster a closer interconnectedness between human and technology. This emerging innovative context shapes new types of relations and social perceptions. Technological innovations have a significant impact on developing and transforming socioeconomic aspects and creating new patterns of behaviour and cognitive perception of the urban landscape. Automation, digitization and robotics have disruptive effects on human culture, influencing sustainability and productivity. Accordingly, the fostering of new relations with the urban landscape or with the environment, the moulding of new types of governance set tensions on safety issues and on sharing personal information and finally raise liability questions concerning control and ownership. More research is needed to assess the effects of these transformations and to propose policies that would include the diffusion of this new technology in society. The main issues to be raised in this special session would be socio-economic and cultural transformations stemming from the emerging technological innovation on governance for the future. Issues of trust and change of spatial and temporal cognition should be included.
Topics:
1. Socio-economic transformations on future mobility
2. Autonomous mobility and social inclusivity.
3. Sustainability in transportation infrastructure
4. The role of trust in the diffusion of AVs
5. Governance, AI and human rights on the AV technology.
6. Safety and liability issues of AVs
7. Intelligent Transportation System and privacy
8. Policies implementation for the diffusion of the new technology
9. Cognition and the agency of AI in AVs
10. Policy implementation for the diffusion of the new technology
11.The effects of AVs in the sharing economy
