Towards the machine-readable city? Autonomous driving and HD mapping as latent conflicts in urban future-making

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

Namberger tackles the question of how autonomous driving and so-called ‘HD mapping’ structure, and are structured by, wider conflict constellations of urban future-making in the realm of technology urbanism. Using the Testfeld Autonomes Fahren Baden-Württemberg as an empirical vignette, he illuminates the three broader yet largely latent conflicts of governance, regulation, and imagination that have accompanied the advancing implementation of HD in urban space.
