contents We introduce horizontal and vertical motivic invariants of birational maps between rational dominant maps and study their basic properties. As a first application, we show that the (usual) motivic invariants vanish for birational automorphisms of threefolds over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. On the other hand, we prove that the motivic invariants of the birational automorphism group of many types of varieties, including projective spaces of dimension at least four over a field of characteristic zero, do not form a bounded family, even after extending scalars to the algebraic closure of the field. For such varieties, we further show that their birational automorphism groups are not generated by maps preserving a conic bundle or a rational surface fibration structure, and their abelianizations do not stabilize.
