The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) has been strongly heralded as the most
exciting innovation in automobility for decades. Autonomous
Vehicles are no longer an innovation of the future (seen only in
science fiction) but are now being road-tested for use. And yet
while the technical and economic success and possibilities of the
AV have been widely debated, there has been a notable lack of
discussion around the social, behavioural, and environmental
implications. This book is the first to address these issues and to
deeply consider the environmental and social sustainability outlook
for the AV and how it will impact on communities. Environmental and
social sustainability are goals unlike those of technical
development (a new tool) and economic development (a new
investment). The goal of sustainability is development of societies
that live well and equitably within their ecological limits. Is it
reasonable and desirable that only technical and economic success
comprise the swelling AV parade, or should we be looking at the
wider impacts on personal well-being, wider society, and the
environment? The uptake for AVs looks to be lengthy, disjointed,
and episodic, in large measure because it faces a range of known
unknown risks. This book assesses the environmental and social
sustainability potential for AVs based on their prospective energy
use and their impacts on climate change, urban landscapes, public
health, mobility inequalities, and individual and social
well-being. It examines public attitudes about AV use and its risk
of fostering a rebound effect that compromises potential
sustainability gains. The book concludes with a discussion of
critical issues involved in sustainable AV diffusion.
