We are on the verge of sharing our cities with autonomous vehicles. Recent developments in driverless technologies are having an impact on our urban environment, raising questions about how self-driving vehicles could be integrated into our daily lives. Automotive and technological industries are not only developing the vehicles but also envisioning the future of our cities, a future where streets have seamlessly integrated driverless technologies and humans wander about, unconcerned by the presence of new automated machines circulating at high speeds through public space. This essay and the accompanying meditations explore the conflicts soon to be unleashed by this new technology and the transformation of our streets it will trigger. The current implementations of driverless technology, which are fast and disruptive, do not suggest an eventual integrated urban solution. Yet this book allows us to imagine how humans and cars might collectively influence the urban environment

Connecting Minds, Creating the Future

Los textos que siguen a continuación son experiencias de inicios desde diferentes perspectivas y a diferentes escalas. Todos ellos surgen del planteamiento de cómo empezar a pensar en Arquitectura. Son textos con gran dosis de experiencia y de compromiso con la actividad docente y con el propio ejercicio de la profesion. Por todo ello, no quisiera dejar pasar la oportunidad de agradecer en este texto a todos los compañeros profesores, arquitectos y estudiantes que generosamente han sacado tiempo para dejar en este libro su reflexion sobre los inicios. Estas Memorias del curso pretenden ser el lugar de convergencia de todas las experiencias vividas y trabajadas en el aula de Proyectos I de la Escuela Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura de Sevilla. "DEambulatorio ARchitectonica II" expresa muchos comienzos e ilusiones, desde personales hasta academicas e investigadoras. Como ya hicieramos con el primer libro de esta incipiente coleccion, se muestran aqui textos inteligentes que surgen desde diferentes experiencias y latitudes, pero con "los inicios" como eje transversal de pensamiento. Estoy convencido de que la claridad de sus palabras supondra un importante acicate a seguir comenzando nuevos inicios.
