flag Haringey to launch self-driving taxis in early 2026, following safety tests and technological advances.

flag Haringey plans to launch self-driving taxis in early 2026, becoming one of the first areas in London to adopt the technology. flag The rollout follows years of testing and comes amid public debate over safety, particularly after a high-profile incident where a pedestrian was dragged by a driverless car—though investigations found the accident was caused by another vehicle, not a failure in the autonomous system. flag Experts say self-driving cars, equipped with lidar, radar, and real-time communication, can react faster than humans and improve traffic flow by reducing stop-and-go driving and potentially eliminating traffic lights. flag While concerns remain about unpredictable human behavior in urban environments, advocates highlight that decades of research and recent advances in affordable sensors and processing power support the technology’s readiness.
