@itvnews: Uber has officially launched its driverless taxis to the public in London, and is the second city in Europe to do so after Zagreb. It's part of a new trial from Uber and Wayve — you order like any normal ride, then get a notification saying you've been matched with a self-driving car. For now, a safety supervisor is still on board, but the car drives itself. As for the car in the video that got stuck, Wayve responded saying that because there was gridlocked traffic, it took the decision to manually take control. A spokesperson said, "This is exactly the role of the driver in these initial supervised trials, to ensure safety and a seamless journey". #uber #driverlesstaxi #taxi #london #news

If people don’t like it make sure you never hire a self driving car once they are in full operation. It’s the only way to stop it

Driverless cabs Work in California or other American states, but they’re never gonna work in London. Driving in London is too crazy and those AI computers can’t keep up with it. The roads are too small and way too congested most days for them in my personal opinion.

What a joke the world is becoming. We’re focused on automating everything rather than dealing with the actual problems humans are facing. I would never trust this, i would rather drive.
