@ernandy Yes, the promotion of electric cars, hybrids, Uber and similar businesses, and the future promise of automated vehicles are indeed about saving the car and related industries. Incumbents strive to minimise change partly by ensuring a future similar to the present and recent past. In the case of the car, this is sometimes called #automobility, and there is research supporting this.
This new #artwork of mine can be seen on a #billboard next to the very busy #street "L201" in #Studenzen, #Styria for the next 3 months. It is a reflection of my current research topic: the #Car and the production of #Modern #Nature.

#Outsource parental taxis. It will reinforce an over-reliance on #cars, which is demonstrably harmful for children’s #health and wellbeing.

Hi everyone,
I’m a lecturer in urban planning at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. I'm interested in #urban #transport systems, and how we can plan for cities beyond #automobility and #CarDependency. I draw on institutional and critical urban theories. Current projects focus on #ActiveTransport #cycling #micromobility #parking #decarbonisation #placemaking
Outside the academic world, I practice #kendo (that's me in the photo), gardening, and dabble as a fingerpicking guitarist
