Whether you’re on the fence about self-driving cars or a full-blown fan, London is fast becoming a battleground for tech firms wanting to launch robotaxis on its cramped roads. You might be able to order a Waymo robotaxi using an app by September if things go to plan for the tech firm. The next phase will see Waymo robotaxis with a safety driver in the car ready to intervene across a 100-square-mile area. It is not known yet where Waymo and other robotaxis will carry passengers. ‘What I’d say to Londoners is, don’t be scared about this technology.’Both Baidu and Waymo are already operating robotaxis in China and in the US, respectively.
