If they are cheaper and cleaner than human-driven ones, and stay that way, they should make a positive contribution to London.

But judging by a quick web search, sounds like they are not so far.

It must be wonderful to have this kind of technology in the 'big city'.

We're years behind out here in deepest Hertfordshire.  We're still stuck with the driverless horse.

Spotted outside the Iranian Embassy at Kensington last week.  Have seen 3 others since.  Testing most definitely in progress!

Woopsie. Im sure the staff in the Philippines will see to this when it becomes fully autonomous and heads the wrong way down a one way road. They will get it out of trouble.

So for that error of judgement who pays the fine?

It has to be waymo, that is if they get one. I don't see why the council wouldn't fine them though. I followed one through bank junction the other day too which will also be a fine from the city of London.
