N2 - Human approaches to automated mobility in everyday urban contexts are urgently needed in order to develop sustainable human futures. This demands both post-disciplinary methodologies and long-term engagements with diverse stakeholders and communities to negotiate and align opportunities, values, and desires and scaffolding opportunities for impact and change. Participatory design supports engagements in technology development with citizens, industry and public institutions with values of empowerment, mutual learning and democracy at the core. Design anthropology can scaffold research and interventions into emergent cultural practices to support cultural transformation in situated everyday contexts. Integrating these approaches, the chapter demonstrates how a design anthropological methodology to future mobility was created through long-term engagement with industry, municipalities and local communities in Sweden, in the AHA projects (2018-2022). The chapter provides a framework for working with sustainable automated futures based on participatory and design anthropological approaches that can be transferred to other contexts, environments and communities to support transformation.
