Description

Waymo, Googles self-driving car subsidiary, has started autonomous vehicle trials in London, aiming to launch passenger service next year. Their Waymo Driver software, using cameras, radar, and lidar sensors, is now operating in the city. Human safety drivers are currently involved, but the goal is full service without human intervention. Testing and mapping will occur across several London boroughs, with American-designed left-hand drive cars adapted for UK driving. The UK government is also creating new rules for self-driving technology, expecting it to create jobs and boost the economy.
