Auto Nom is a lighthearted essay on machine autonomy, illustrated by an example of a self driving car. Rolf, our global classic german car protagonist painted in tasteful yellow, enjoys his unadulterated freedom from mundane tasks, in a world devoid of organic life forms. Not reduced to a vehicle getting humans from A to B, he rules a city that seems to have been taken over by a rogue AI and rampant phygital matter overgrowth.
