Cars have created many positive experiences for people by providing them freedom of mobility, exciting driving thrills and status in society. However, cars are also known to create problems such as pollution, traffic congestion and accidents. To shift towards a more sustainable way of mobility for the future, we need to understand car users' experiences of today and how these shape their anticipation of future mobility. Today users of new cars create their future car using immersive online car configurators, share their anticipation and experiences about the functionality of recent software updates on social media or consider how their future electric car could be charged in a ‘smart’-way through available charging ecosystems. These examples show how digitalisation through new digital technologies extend the ways users anticipate and experience cars as they evolve. This thesis aims to provide an understanding of how people’s anticipatory experiences of emerging digital technologies related to cars shape new problems and possibilities for future mobility.
