Our global reliance on private automobiles as the primary means for
transporting individuals is likely to become of increasing
political importance over the next ten to twenty years. While the
individual benefits of car-based travel continues to be recognized,
the wider environmental and social cost of automobiles is also
significant and the need for political intervention to control some
of their worst effects is increasingly accepted within policy
circles internationally. It is within this wider context that "Auto
Motives" is set. It critically evaluates the evidence for better
understanding 'what drives us to drive'. Uniquely, it draws
together and explains the diverse theoretical literatures that
pertain to people's auto motives and considers these theories in
light of empirical research of what actually informs our automobile
decisions and behaviours. With contributions from leading academic
experts from around the world, its core arguments and narratives
are presented in such a way as to offer widespread appeal to a wide
ranging audience.
