“…The needed policy innovation does not have to start from scratch. High-quality policy design can draw from a plethora of existing transport policies but also innovation policies [112,113]. Such innovation policy development could include various policy effectors and detectors related to, for example, data sharing, responsible piloting, indirect innovation, and innovation monitoring.…”

As transport automation technology continues to emerge, there is a need to engage in the questions of its governing—to find a balance between unreflective enablement and rigid control. An increasing body of literature has begun to address the topic, but only a few studies have examined discourse and culture as central components of the related governance processes. This article aims to analyse the discourse surrounding self-driving vehicles in the Finnish context by drawing from the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries. The critical discourse analysis framework is applied to study a comprehensive set of documents published by Finnish national-level governmental bodies from 2013 to 2020. The analysis identifies four imagined ways of implementing self-driving vehicles into the Finnish transport system and a large set of mostly positive anticipated implications. Moreover, the analysis illustrates the transport automation imaginary’s cultural and spatial detachment, most obvious in the lack of detail and the disconnection between the imagined implementations and the anticipated implications. The findings are convergent with findings from other governance contexts, where discourse has been largely characterised by an unjustified optimism and strong determinism related to the wedlock with the automobility regime. If left unaddressed, such lack of reflectivity will not just lead to a plethora of undesired implications for Finnish society at large but will also signify a failure in developing an adaptive governance culture needed to face challenges of the 21st century.

“…Aspekt ekonomije deljenja je posebno važan za argumente oko neoptimalnog korišćenja vozila i urbane imovine, podvučene društvenim kretanjima ka "peer-to-peer" deljenjem imovine i skupljanje izvora podataka, što je primer veće dostupnosti, pogodnosti i pristupačnosti usluga vožnje na zahtev. Ovi prelazi se dešavaju paralelno sa opštijim promenama u urbanom i regionalnom upravljanju, uključujući više javnoprivatnih inicijativa za saradnju; redefinisanje uloge nacionalne države i jačanje nižih nivoa samouprave; povećanje raznolikosti, varijacija, pa čak i asimetrije upravljanja; sve veća tržišna prodaja javnog domena; i pomeranje obrazloženja za intervenciju u tehnološki razvoj [17].…”

Mobility as a service or mobility as commons?

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is a relatively fast-growing emerging technology based on a vision of integration and user-friendliness in mobility systems, based on a “mobility platform” approach. Considering that most of the literature so far does not take an explicitly critical attitude towards this emerging technology, this paper considers the great uncertainties and implications for the socio-technical domains in and out of everyday mobility. The analysed implications also refer to the set of innovation actors, as well as the institutions and patterns of interaction between them. The conclusion is that the technological transition of MaaS from a niche to a mobility regime requires the convergence of several socio-technical factors of societal digitalization, the development of a wider infrastructure, and a regulatory system change. To avoid the potential undesired effects of MaaS, transport policy and institutions for managing technological development will need to recognize the underlying problems at the root of further activities, ranging from depoliticization to fundamental theoretical questions about the essence of the mobility commons.
