In particular the full autonomous cars should free humans from the strains and dangers of driving while opening new possibilities for the experiencing of the daily life on the move. However, the importance of autonomous driving extends far beyond the mobility of persons (as drivers and passengers). Based on the review of the multidisciplinary literature about autonomous driving, the current contribution will generate hypotheses about the assessment and prediction of the impact of various autonomous driving use cases on city logistics' problematic areas (mainly Last Mile and End-Consumer Movements).

Its main assumption is that the more meanings and purposes are enabled on the way between starting location A and target location B in public transportation, the more people will travel together by this means and the more opportunities for interesting face-to-face interactions and business on the move will rise. The implementation of "the journey as purpose"-concept should rely on the development or combination of value-added service concepts carried by mobile intelligent agents in the background, which should turn the perceived "weaknesses" of the public transportation (i.e. many people traveling together, long waiting times, possibly long travel times, transfers and waiting for the next connection) into benefits and opportunities.

Recent data on urban traffic mobility emphasizes the difficulty of the current planning strategies in reaching the goals of either reducing, shifting or avoiding heavy traffic that is caused primarily by individual private vehicles.

The main theme of this STS Italia conference’s edition was the intersection between Design Studies and Science & Technology Studies. The Conference was the main event of STS Italia, the Italian Society for the Study of Science & Technology and the 2014 edition was organized in collaboration with the Design Department of Politecnico di Milano. Thanks to this cooperation, the conference was a unique space for interdisciplinary encounters between different scientific and intellectual milieus, which have interacted on very practical terms, fostering a reflexive account both in Design and STS practices.
