Driverless Taxis Launching in London, Sparking Optimism and Skepticism

Imagine taxis that drive themselves!

Uber and a tech company called Wayve are starting to test these "robotaxis" in London.

The government thinks this could be great for the UK, bringing in jobs and new technology.

The plan is to have these taxis on the road without a safety driver.

But it's not all smooth sailing.

Some people are worried about safety and how well they'll work.

The companies need to prove these cars are safe and that people will trust them.

Some taxi drivers aren't too worried yet, but there's a lot of work to do before these self-driving cars become a regular sight.
