ABSTRACT Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are promised by their developers to transform mobilities, making travel accessible to all – including those unable to drive due to age, affordability or disability – and thereby widen the distribution of what Urry calls ‘network capital’. This paper interrogates promotional visualizations about CAVs as they imagine future automated mobilities and the scaling up of the technologies from small trials to mass roll-out. It analyses a wide range of images from a CAV trial in a UK city and demonstrates that these images reinforce rather than disrupt traditional gendered associations of automobility. This study further develops this work and notes other ways in which visualizations of CAV-enabled network mobility reiterate existing network capital inequalities. It also pays careful attention to the background urban environment in which CAVS are pictured. The paper argues that an absence of people and place specificity enable CAV technologies to be imagined as being used in other locations and contexts. Hence the visualizations of CAV that picture only specific forms corporeal mobility also work to envision the mobility of entrepreneurial capital, as the software and hardware behind the driverless vehicle is shown as transferable to, and profitable in, different contexts and situations.

谁在驾驶?展望互联和自动驾驶汽车技术的未来用户和城市环境

摘要 联网和自动驾驶汽车 (CAV) 的开发商承诺将改变出行方式,让所有人都能出行——包括那些因年龄、负担能力或残疾而无法开车的人——从而扩大 Urry 所谓的“网络资本”的分布范围。这篇论文询问了有关 CAV 的宣传可视化,因为他们想象了未来的自动化移动性以及从小型试验到大规模推广的技术扩展。它分析了来自英国城市的 CAV 试验的广泛图像,并表明这些图像加强而不是破坏了汽车的传统性别关联。这项研究进一步发展了这项工作,并指出了 CAV 支持的网络移动性的可视化重申现有网络资本不平等的其他方式。它还特别注意拍摄 CAVS 的背景城市环境。该论文认为,缺乏人和地点的特殊性使 CAV 技术可以被想象为在其他地点和环境中使用。因此,仅描绘特定形式的身体移动性的 CAV 可视化也有助于设想创业资本的移动性,因为无人驾驶车辆背后的软件和硬件显示为可转移到不同的环境和情况并在不同的情况下盈利。
