Sociomobility of the 21st century: Autonomous vehicles, planning, and the future city

Autonomous vehicles are an emerging technology that can fundamentally change how our society moves and lives. The authors review the infant literature of 185 peer-reviewed articles on the social context of an AV-enabled mobility future. They develop 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.
