Abstract Chapter 1 provides a socio-technical foundation for thinking about our life on the road as social interactionSocial interaction . It introduces a general sociological discussion on how people coordinate and experience traffic as an ongoing practical achievement. The sociological literature portrays social relations in traffic as severely constrained. The possibilities for the driver to interact are bounded by the vehicle and the speed of the movement. Understanding traffic as constrained social interaction is just a starting point for detailed empirical investigation and analysis, and not the end-point where a general theory fits with social life. This chapter also discusses how new social media can be designed to support these activities, in order to increase the possibilities for drivers to help each other or enjoy each others’ presence.
