flag Self-driving taxis are set to begin trials in London this spring, with Wayve, Waymo, and Baidu testing vehicles on the city’s complex streets. flag The UK government is backing the effort to develop national regulations, as companies use AI trained on real-world data to navigate challenges like heavy pedestrian traffic and irregular road layouts. flag While Wayve and Waymo emphasize adaptability without relying on detailed maps, London’s black cab drivers remain skeptical, questioning whether robotaxis can match human drivers’ local knowledge and responsiveness. flag Waymo plans to launch a passenger service by late 2026 with competitive fares, and experts suggest the technology could help address transit gaps in rural areas.
