David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)Ugh, when did 'driverless' (remote controlled by unqualified drivers in a different legal jurisdiction) things get approved in the UK? I thought our regulators were marginally more sensible than that.

tony 🏳️⚧️ 🏴 🚴🧗🏻@DM_Ronin @david_chisnall @GossiTheDog London has great public transit. Why is this a problem to be solved?

wibble@david_chisnall @GossiTheDog Sensible, perhaps; biddable, certainly. Which is, I presume, how I got the chance to flip a bird at a Waymo in London last week.
t's the first I've seen, so the bribery's presumably recent, but as I don't often spend time in the parts where people take cabs (I live South of the River, where it's all buses and hoverboards) I couldn't say how recent.

Barry Cook 🇨🇦@GossiTheDog - I was living in London oh so many years ago when the city experienced its very first gridlock. Nothing moved. For hours. Drivers grew so frustrated that they literally walked away from their cars where they stood and looked for subway / train alternatives.
And humans train robots.
