Automotive landscape is a complex of spatial and functional elements that form the surrounding environment directly related to the movement and presence of automobiles. Such a landscape includes roads, highways, intersections, parking lots, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructural objects designed for the movement and parking of vehicles.

The automotive landscape is characterized by a variety of road types and surfaces: from city streets with markings and traffic lights to highways with multiple lanes and interchanges. It often contains elements of road infrastructure — road signs, barriers, fences, speed limit signs, and direction indicators — which guide the flow of cars and ensure traffic safety.

The environment of the automotive landscape can be urban, with dense buildings and infrastructural networks, or suburban and industrial, with scattered structures, greenery, shoulders, and fields. It may also include natural features such as forests, rivers, and hills through which roads pass, integrating the transport network into the natural terrain.

Automotive landscapes vary depending on climatic and geographic conditions: they may be covered with snow and ice in winter, have dusty and arid sections in dry regions, or be flooded with water after rain. The geometry of roads can range from straight routes to winding serpentine roads and steep slopes. Such landscapes often include technically complex structures, such as viaducts and overpasses, adapted to the terrain and functionality.

The automotive landscape also encompasses service and rest areas: gas stations, tire repair shops, driver rest zones, and information points. It represents a dynamic system that interactively integrates with natural and artificial environments, providing mobility, accessibility, and functionality for vehicles and their users.
