From Automated to Autonomous Driving A Transnational Research History on Pioneers, Artifacts and Technological Change (1950-2000)

“This absorbing monograph succeeds in highlighting how the long-standing fascination with land vehicles that can navigate with minimal human intervention has served to alter automobile technology. … Paving fresh ground in studies of contemporary technology, Kröger’s timely and engaging book sets up fruitful questions of the ethical, legal, and social implications of the automated automobile for future analysis. For readers of studies of transportation and technology fusion, this work will be an indispensable resource.” (Matthew N. Eisler, Technology and Culture, Vol. 66 (1), January, 2025)
