I’m conflicted about autonomous taxis coming to London. Downsides I can imagine, more congestion, it’s impact on people using public transport and the concentration of wealth in large corps who don’t pay taxes here (and removing paid work from people who contribute to the local economy). BUT when I used it in Austin it was a very calm and pleasant experience... I find cab drivers tend to drive more erratically (maybe they’re in a hurry because they don’t get paid enough). Anyway, crazy to imagine they might be normal soon.
