The beginning of the 21st century has seen important shifts in mobility cultures around the world, as the West’s media-driven car culture has contrasted with existing local mobilities, from rickshaws in India and minibuses in Africa to cycling in China. In this expansive volume, historian Gijs Mom explores how contemporary mobility has been impacted by social, political, and economic forces on a global scale, as in light of local mobility cultures, the car as an ‘adventure machine’ seems to lose cultural influence in favor of the car’s status character.

Why has “car society” proven so durable, even in the face of mounting environmental and economic crises? In this follow-up to his magisterial Atlantic Automobilism, Gijs Mom traces the global spread of the automobile in the postwar era and investigates why adopting more sustainable forms of mobility has proven so difficult. Drawing on archival research as well as wide-ranging forays into popular culture, Mom reveals here the roots of the exuberance, excess, and danger that define modern automotive culture.

The idea of "understanding the present through its history" is based on two insights. First, it helps to know where a technology comes from: what were its predecessors, how did they evolve as a result of the continuous efforts to solve theoretical and practical problems, who were crucial in their emergence, and which cultural differences made them develop into divergent families of artifacts? Second, and closely related to the first insight, how does a certain technology or system fit into its societal context, its culture of mobility, its engineering culture, its culture of car driving, its alternatives, its opponents? Only thus, by studying its prehistory and its socio-cultural context, can we acquire a true 'grasp' of a technology. The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook, Second Edition covers one and a quarter century of the automobile, conceived as a cultural history of its technology, aimed at engineering students and all those who wish to have a concise introduction into the basics of automotive technology and its long-term development.

Fahrassistenzsysteme sind aus dem automobilen Alltag kaum wegzudenken, wohingegen Versprechungen autonomen Fahrens noch immer kontrovers debattiert werden. Beidem liegen Vorstellungen von Vereinfachungen und Automatisierungen des Fahrens zugrunde, die eine lange Geschichte haben. Die interdisziplinäre Studie zeigt, wie frühe Automobile Ende des 19. Jhs. durch Assistenzeinrichtungen zu dem Auto wurden, das wir heute kennen und erklärt, welche Rolle diese im Lauf der Geschichte des Autos spielten. - Driving assistance systems are automotive basic equipment whilst promises of autonomous driving are still subject of dispute. Both are based on ideas of simplifying and automating the driving process that have a long history. The interdisciplinary study shows how the early automobiles of the late 19th century became the car we know today by means of assistance systems only. This volume reveals the role they played throughout the history of the automobile.

Perheen henkilöauto oli sodanjälkeisinä vuosikymmeninä nykyaikaistumisen ja elintason merkki. Autokuumeen kiihkein kausi osui Urho Kekkosen presidenttikauteen (1956–1981). Autosta tuli arkea ja elämäntapaa määritellyt hyödyke, mutta vapauden varjopuoli olivat liikennekuolemat ja ympäristöongelmat. Yhteiskunta mobilisoitui auton ympärille tavalla, joka on syvällä ajattelussamme ja yhdyskuntarakenteessa. Autoistuminen alkoi vaatia tiukempaa yhteiskunnallista ohjailua, jolloin henkilöauto politisoitui. Ajonopeus, turvavyön käyttäminen tai ”parin” ottaminen ennen tien päälle lähtöä eivät olleet enää omakohtaisia asioita. Autoiluun oli totuttu yksityisenä arkirutiinina, johon puuttuminen rajoittavilla järjestelmäsäännöillä koettiin herkästi yksilönvapauden loukkaamiseksi. Tutkimus osoittaa, kuinka talous, politiikka ja kulttuuri niveltyivät autossa toisiinsa. Teos tarkastelee autoistumista inhimillisenä ja yleismaailmallisena ilmiönä sekä toimii johdantona autoistumisen historian uusimman kansainvälisen tutkimuksen kysymyksenasetteluihin.
