Preface

Nino [looking at a convertible]: “Now this… that is one mother-f**king, fine-a**,

p***-mobile…! Damn!”
Drive (2011)

Perhaps a book on the “psychology of the car” demands a positioning of the author.
As probably most readers of this book, I have been socialized in a car-centric world.
Growing up in a suburban area about 5 km outside a medium-sized town in North
Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, most of my childhood memories are entangled in trans-
port dependency; we went to school by bus, were taken to sports practice by car, and
drove to see family or friends on weekends. I got my driving license 08-08-88, a magic
date marking independence more than my 18th birthday a day earlier. Soon after, the
car afforded my first better-paid student job as a newspaper photographer and free-
lancer. I also associate the car with first escapes, driving nowhere in particular in the
middle of the night with a friend, movement being a goal in its own right. The car was
the means of transport during my first “real” holiday, a trip to Spain with my girlfriend
(and later wife) at the age of 22. We drifted “south” in search of October warmth, and
prayed that the car, her father’s aged VW Golf, wouldn’t break down. Countless trips
have been made by car since then, and we (still) own a small car today. However, trains
became our favorite transport mode a long time ago, and as a family, we nowadays
associate highways with congestion and stress, places to avoid.
Yet, this is only half the story of my relationship with the car. In my childhood days
in the 1970s, suburban structures were different. In most small communities, there
existed a local post office, a bank, an ice cream parlor, a restaurant, and a local mini-
market, catering to a few thousand people (these are long gone). Because everything
you needed was close by, people walked or cycled. I have been told that I rode my little
bicycle to the day care center for the first time when I was 3 years old. When I turned
7, school required a longer trip, which I later made by bike as well. Today, this would
probably pass as a serious case of parental neglect, as I had to ride along a major road
with a 100 km/h speed limit and no safety strip, and I remember cars flying by in a
blur while pedaling up the hill. At the age of 16, it took all my savings to buy a British
racing bike, which brought independence and speed. I loved that silver, smooth bike,
and even today, riding a bike continues to represent my idea of freedom.
Our daughter was born into this constellation in 2005. She surprised us when her
first word was bil (Swedish for “car”), bearing evidence of the great fascination cars
have for children. At the age of two and a half, she told her astonished parents from

the back seat of the car that “When I am grown up, I will buy a car and drive around
all day.” At the age of 6, she began walking to primary school every morning, and
later on, at the age of 10, she started to ride her bike to the new school 2 km away. At
12, she has an ambivalent relationship with cars, which she occasionally likes (to be
taken someplace), though normally despises because she knows that cars contribute to
climate change and air pollution. Such views are not necessarily the norm. My wife,
a teacher in a rural area, recently asked third-graders how they imagined their lives as
grown-ups. The children agreed on only one thing: they would all own a car.
Why this book, then? Perhaps, on the most basic level, it is a matter of curiosity.
When you live in a car-centered world, you want to make sense of it. I am also fasci-
nated with traffic emotions. As a bicyclist, I have been shot angry looks, yelled at, and
been (almost) run over more often than I care to remember. As a driver and passenger
in a car, I have seen all sorts of reckless driving, and witnessed the death of a young
woman in an accident. There is aggressiveness in the automotive system that has trou-
bled me for a long time. During the research for this book, I told my daughter about
car “faces,” and asked her what she would make of a car with four headlights. She
did not have to think: “It’s a monster.” Perhaps this is what I have had on my mind all
along, that a world without monsters must be a more desirable one.
This book is consequently about change. It is meant to contribute to an understand-
ing of the psychological roots of automobile culture, through which it becomes possi-
ble to envision, design, and implement futures in which cars lose relevance. There is a
growing movement questioning cars. Governments have started to realize that the car
is heavily subsidized, with evidence that each driven kilometer incurs a cost to society
not covered by taxes, charges, and fees. The car reduces quality of life in cities, and it
requires vast areas of land for road infrastructure and parking. Health concerns related
to air pollution have emerged worldwide, while the lack of activity of automobile pop-
ulations is measurable in increasing numbers of people who are overweight and obese.
More than 1 million people die every year in traffic accidents, and up to 50 million are
injured. Climate change is caused to a large degree by transport emissions. For all of
these reasons, we need to rethink the automotive system.
However, actual evidence of change is more limited. New car registrations continue
to grow, with expectations of 2 billion cars by 2030, one for every four humans. Many
people now spend more time commuting than they are given for their annual holiday.
Car sizes, weight, and motorization continue to grow, while nobody would seriously
expect political initiatives to significantly curb automobility since the backlash from
automobile lobbies is known to be unforgiving. There is also an ominous silence in
society on the impacts of the automobile system, and unwillingness to discuss its
implications. More people are killed by cars every year than in battle during World
War II. The automotive system demands a sacrifice that we are curiously willing to
offer.
Observations such as these require a new look at automobility, and this book
seeks to understand our fundamental love of cars. It provides a wide range of (old
and new) perspectives on automobile admiration, attachment, and addiction. Its most
notable insight is perhaps that we are not as much dependent on the car as being
made dependent. There are powerful interests at work to psychologically engineer car
Preface xxiii

addiction—addicts, conveniently, never question their behavior. Other insights pertain

to the role of cars with regard to emotions, sociality, sex and gender, speed, authority,
and death. We need to understand these interrelationships to unlock the possibility of
alternative transport futures.
This book was written in the second half of 2016, and it provides an analysis of
automobile culture up to this point. It is focused on industrialized countries, and
contains much material and many examples from the countries where I am at home,
Germany and Sweden. In many ways, this book is limited. Setting out to write a book
that would grasp the complexity of our social, cultural, and psychological entangle-
ment with the car, I had to realize that, at best, this book will serve as an introduction.
Many linkages are only discussed at the very surface of their complexity, and others
barely outlined.
There is also a broad claim underlying this book, i.e., that many of our social norms
and personal constructs are influenced by popular culture including movies, literature,
music, and games. Movies in particular, as visual media, seem to have great power
in shaping personal identities and social norms. In movies, we learn about the world,
but we also discover ourselves, and considerable attention is thus paid to the role of
popular culture in creating and validating automobile culture.
Last, it is possible that I have misinterpreted or misunderstood results or theories
I cite, or contexts I develop. I acknowledge these shortcomings, in the hope that the
book will be a starting point for a more comprehensive exploration of this complex
field.

Many people have supported this book, directly and indirectly. First and foremost,
without the inspiration and insight of Mathias Gößling, this book would not exist.
Mathias’s patience in explaining the world to me has made me realize the fundamental
importance of psychology for transport behavior. Mathias also provided the analysis
for several discussions in this book, including the recognition and interpretation of
Oedipal constellations in Transformers, and the focus on childhood neglect as a mar-
keting strategy in Volkswagen’s “Darth Vader” commercial. His paper on communi-
cative violence and personality disorder in the context of car advertisement (Gößling
and Eckert, 2008) reveals the powerful forces of marketing appeal, and the complex
and profound analyses needed to understand these interrelationships. This book is
dedicated to Mathias, because it is owed to his insights.
My family, Meike and Linnea, have been immensely helpful in discussing many
of the issues taken up in this book. Meike is a sharp analyst of the human psyche,
and contributed many insights. Linnea is a driving force in my disentangling of our
human-environmental relations. She demands to know why the world is the way it is
and forces me to reconsider the “rationality” of the human enterprise. Behavior is an
open book for those who wish to understand, though more often we seem to prefer not
to. I hope that Linnea will be able to live in a future with fewer cars, for the simple
reason that this would indicate that the world has gained in empathy.
Many requests for permission to reproduce material were sent to car manufactur-
ers, car rental companies, automobile lobby organizations, and marketing agencies.
Virtually all had in common that they either declined permission or insisted on such
complex contracts that it was no longer meaningful to pursue inclusion in the book.
This is unfortunate, because some issues discussed in this book would have profited
from illustrations. While this confirms that the automotive world is a secretive one, I
am indebted in particular to Volkswagen, Mercedes, and Porsche for supporting me
with photographic material in nonbureaucratic and efficient ways.
Without colleagues and collaboration, science cannot exist. I am extremely grateful
to C. Michael Hall and Daniel Scott, colleagues and friends, for 15 years of collab-
oration on environmental and developmental questions. I am also indebted to many
colleagues in various places (in no particular order): Carlo Aall, Torkjel Solbraa, Ivar

to be mentioned, as the book relies in considerable part on the distinction of symbolic,
affective, and instrumental car values. I humbly apologize to anyone whose work I
have misinterpreted or presented in insufficient detail.
Various people contributed to valuable discussions and insights with direct and
indirect relevance for this book, including Sabine Bode, Christer Ljungberg, Peter
Brandauer, Roman Molitor, Niels Jensen, Marie Kåstrup, Frank Schreier III, Andreas

Freiburg traffic police corps, who devoted considerable time to valuable and insightful
interviews. For sharing alternative forms of mobility, thanks to Markus Hierl, Dirk
Niehues, Michael Metz, and Guifré Ruiz Acero. Paul Hanna read parts of an earlier
version of the manuscript (all mistakes remain my own). Katinka Hurst helped to
prepare the book for publication, investing much time and energy. I am also indebted
to Brian Romer at Elsevier for giving the title a chance, and Kattie Washington for
her patience in dealing with many issues in the publication process. Punithavathy
Govindaradjane has been an immensely helpful production project manager.
My special thanks go to all politicians who dare to advocate alternative trans-
port futures. In Germany, they include Barbara Hendricks, Winfried Hermann,
Anton Hofreiter, Boris Palmer, Karl Langensteiner-Schönborn, and Helmut Thoma.
Worldwide, personalities that deserve to be mentioned include Arnold Schwarzenegger,
who implemented low-pollution laws in California; Isabella Lövin, who pushed for a
70% emissions reduction in the Swedish transport sector; Klaus Bondham, who main-
streamed bicycle culture in Copenhagen; and Peter Brandauer, who explored (and
explores) new transport cultures in Werfenweng, Austria. It takes guts to think dif-
ferently, to challenge the automotive system. These individuals (and many others not
mentioned here) deserve to be praised for rethinking automobile order.
The Automotive System
1
Manager [amid noise from racing cars starting up]: “Ah, what music! They could
never have imagined it, those pioneers who invented the automobile, that it would
possess us like this, in our imaginations, our dreams.”
Rush (2013)

In Love With the Automobile

In his introduction to “Car Cultures,” Miller (2001: p. 1) reminisces, telling a partic-
ular story to his daughter: An alien observing the Earth comes to the conclusion that
the planet is inhabited by four-wheeled creatures, who are served by slaves on two
legs. These slaves would “spend their whole lives serving them,” feeding them liquid
foods and caring for them when they have accidents. Miller’s reversing narrative of
our relationship with cars is unsettling, as it begets the question whether humanity is
now so car addicted that it serves cars, rather than the other way around.
There can be little doubt that the car is one of people’s most cherished techni-
cal and cultural items. Over the past 100 years, the car has seen massive growth
in distribution and use, with estimates that humanity collectively owns 1.3 billion
vehicles (Statista, 2016). The omnipresence and reverence of the car is the focus of
this book, which seeks to understand why a cultural item that has only existed for
three generations in most countries could assume such central importance, across
geographical and cultural borders. The success of the car, it will argue, can only
be fully understood by considering its functions beyond its capacity to transport
people from one location to another. While this is not a novel insight (Miller, 2001;
Sheller and Urry, 2006; Steg, 2005), perspectives in this book will provide answers
from psychological viewpoints and thus provide an extended understanding of our
interrelationship with the car.
Automobility is deeply woven into the fabric of most societies, shaping social and
personal identities. It is also part of emotions, fears, and anxieties, and the search for
social connectedness. Through the car, we take risks and compete, we are empowered,
control, and express dominance. We take revenge, escape, or kill time. The car also
has importance for relationships with authority and death. This book argues that these
aspects of automobility have been insufficiently discussed in the literature; yet under-
standing them is essential for unlocking the possibility of a future with fewer cars. In
contrast to Sperling and Gordon (2009), who open up for “two billion cars,” this book
will argue that more desirable transport futures will be characterized by fewer, not
more vehicles.
