London is becoming a major test bed for robotaxis - much to the distain of black cabbies. A self-driving Ford Mustang Mach-E is currently navigating the congested streets of London, employing its advanced AI to manoeuvre around pedestrians, cyclists, and roadworks. This autonomous vehicle, developed by British startup Wayve Technologies, is undergoing trials ahead of the UK government's anticipated robotaxi launch this spring. The capital is set to become the latest battleground in the global robotaxi race, with US giant Waymo and China's Baidu also slated to participate in the pilot programme.
