Whereas the emergence and spread of technological innovations have continually reshaped the organisation of our societies and our ways of life, the autonomous vehicle is announced as one of the major innovations of the coming decades likely to have an impact on the activities we practice, the places we inhabit and the ways we occupy them (Das et al., 2017; Legacy et al., 2019). Given that, our research is motivated by the following question: will autonomous vehicles contribute to the advent of low-carbon lifestyles?
