In this chapter, the authors argue that social navigation and automated driving have, in stages, brought about a new ontological reality challenging old divides. As such, they contend that the map and the territory have combined as one: a mapterritory. They do so by re-examining the shifts in semiotic relation between the map and the territory brought about by the digitalization of the map and the automatization of driving.
