Is London ready for driverless taxis?

US company Waymo hopes to be operating in London as soon as September this year.

Driverless, so-called 'robotaxis' were once regarded as something from science-fiction. But they are now coming to London - and it could be as soon as September.

Waymo, a US driverless car firm owned by Google, is launching a pilot service in April, after which they hope to make self-driving cars a reality in London once the rules permit.
