“…Nonetheless, the EU includes 27 individual countries, so it is also interesting to highlight diversity. Spain has been among the last EU countries to comply with AV legislation requirements [57] despite the 2015 DGT allowing AV testing, but it has been making forward leaps since 2022, as outlined in Section 4.1. The UK was an EU member until 2020 but has followed an individual path since its aim has been to be a global leader in this field.…”

In recent years, there has been a remarkable development in the technology and legislation related to electric and autonomous vehicles (i.e., EVs/AVs). This technological advancement requires the deployment of the most up-to-date supporting infrastructure to achieve safe operation. Further infrastructure is needed for Level 5 vehicles, namely the introduction of super-fast wireless 5G technology. To achieve harmony between the rapid technological advancement of EVs/AVs and environmental preservation, enacting legislation related to their sustainable use is vital. Thus, this manuscript provides a review of the technological development of EVs/AVs, with a special focus on carbon footprints and the implementation of additive manufacturing using recycled materials. While EVs have a 12.13% increased carbon footprint compared to conventional vehicles, AVs with basic and advanced intelligence features have an increased carbon footprint of 41.43% and 99.65%, respectively. This article emphasizes that the integration of 3D-printed components has the potential to offset this impact with a substantial 60% reduction. As a result, custom-made solutions involving 3D printing are explored, leading to greater speed, customization, and cost-effectiveness for EVs/AVs. This article also lists the advantages and disadvantages of the existing legislation in Spain, the United Kingdom, and the western Balkans, demonstrating various approaches to promoting electric mobility and the development of autonomous vehicles. In Spain, initiatives like the MOVES program incentivize EV adoption, while the UK focuses on expanding the EV market and addressing concerns about EVs’ quiet operation. In the western Balkans, the adoption of legislation lags behind, with limited incentives and infrastructure for EVs. To boost sales, legal mechanisms are necessary to reduce costs and improve accessibility, in addition to offering subsidies for the purchase of EVs. To this end, an analysis of the incentive measures proposed for the development and use of renewable power sources for the supply of energy for EVs/AVs is presented.

“… Dogan et al (2020) (Chapter 9) address an important topic surrounding AV, namely ethics and AV. It conducts a review of contemporary literature about AV and ethics, remaining focused on these issues and not on wider transport debates.…”

“…Within earlier studies of automated mobility, major streams of work also include research into the complexity of the technological infrastructure needed to enable automated driving (see Ryghaug et al 2022;Marti et al 2019;Liu et al, 2020;Lipson and Kurman, 2016) and issues related to the societal organisation of automated vehicles (see Milakis et al, 2020;Milakis et al, 2017;Mladenovic et al, 2020;Stilgoe, 2020;Stilgoe and Cohen, 2021;Cohen et al, 2018). A substantial body of literature has also developed in relation to the ethics of automated vehicles, mainly focusing on analysing issues concerning accidents with self-driving cars (see Dogan et al, 2020;Nyholm and Smids, 2016;Wolkenstein, 2018;Manchon et al, 2021). Within these literatures, the use of existing technologies has only been scarcely described.…”

This article focuses on how car drivers domesticate technologies of automation and the way this might inform our understanding of potential shifts to a more automated mobility system. The current literature on automated mobility has mainly addressed drivers’ roles in terms of their attitudes towards—and acceptance of—an anticipated shift to high-level driving automation. In this article, however, we take a step back from expectations around automated mobility to explore the domestication of driving assistance technologies and systems already in use. The analysis is built on qualitative interviews with drivers of private cars in Norway. Based on our findings, we develop a typology of user-technology characterizations highlighting three themes of the drivers’ use (comfort, safety, and novelty) as well as two modes of engagements (modulation and non-use). Our analysis suggests that automation is likely to be an incremental and gradual process and that its eventual application depends on the specificities of the practices that it seeks to disrupt. Moreover, we argue that the governance of automated mobility needs to be attentive to the dynamic and unpredictable roles technology will have in processes of socio-technical change. In this context, we highlight the key roles of users in shaping processes of appropriation of both new technologies and broader innovations and argue that knowledge about technology domestication provides important insights to changes towards automation in our current mobility systems.
