New ideas and utopian as well as dystopian visions of future transport are emerging alongside with the development of cooperative, connected, electrified and automated mobility. The question is, what can we foresee and expect that these innovations will bring with them in terms of how people will experience future mobility in their everyday lives? And how can we ensure these technologies to be aligned with what people value and are willing to support while opening up new routes for sustainble futures to unfold?
