   Author : Christopher Martin; Avdelningen för etnologi; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; automation; driving; cars; practice; perception; embodiment; flow; space; skill; orientation; routine; technology;

   Abstract : The compelling images and promises attached to autonomous drive vehicles can easily create an impression that one can speak of a radical distinction between a self-driving future and a manual-driving present.
