Thinking Like a Road: A Companion Piece to ‘Framing Intelligent Transport Systems in the Arctic’ At the Engineering Interventions workshop organized by the International Network of Engineering Studies (INES) in November 2024, Bård Torvetjønn Haugland, Marianne Ryghaug, and Roger A. Søraa were ...

In his 1949 essay, Thinking like a mountain, Aldo Leopold related how dying wolves and starving deer helped him understand nature's order. In this essay, I ask what it means to think like a road, and provide some methodological pointers for operationalising this otherwise abstract notion.

Ah, history: In 2000, when the Labour and Conservative parties voted to support gas power in Norway, a key figure in a Norwegian E-NGO shouted “You’re banished by the environmental movement for ten years! You are international CO2 bandits, we will fight you with any means necessary!" at them.

Det er del av ei større sak om elbil i Klassekampen 05. august, 1995. Litt vrient å fikse skjermdump frå NB i god kvalitet, men håpar dei vedlagte bileta fungerer.

Admittedly, the fear that the electricity used for charging might come from – gasp! – nuclear power is quite '90s.

Shout-out to Tore Berge for correctly diagnosing the problems of electric vehicles back in '95: “The discussion regarding EVs corrupts the whole debate about the problems of car traffic. We need new policies for area use and traffic reduction.”

Då Stortinget utarbeidde Lov om testing av selvkjørende kjøretøy var dette eit refreng. "Teknologien finst, og teknologien fungerer, no gjeld det berre å få den til å fungere i samfunnet." Som om ein teknologi kan seiast å fungere når den ikkje fungerer i konteksten den skal fungere...

Det norske Teknologirådet har ikkje imponert når det kjem til automatisert transport... Frustrerande teknologioptimiske og overraskande lite fokus på dei politiske aspekta ved ny teknologi.

The future is present: Prefiguration in policy and technology experimentation The article adds to the theorisation of temporality within sustainability transitions by introducing the concept of prefiguration. Through two transpo…

Car-free cities or automated vehicles? I discuss how proponents of these two futures try realising part of their desired future in the present day, as to promote its future actualisation. Successful prefiguration requires employing means that reflect – but are distinct from – the desired ends.
