Uber brings ahead taxi without drivers in the UK

Uber will be judicial roboticis – autonomous machines without a person’s security driver – in London next spring.

The fare application will work with the hard way of artificial intelligence (AI), which tests technologies on the streets of the city with human supervision in accordance with the current legislation.

The announcement happens after the UK government has again changed its rules regarding cars without drivers.

Initially, it was aimed at making the technology to come to British roads in 2026, then the date was changed to the second half of 2027.

But now it is said that it introduces an accelerated base for small autonomous “buses and taxis as” commercial services to force them to go earlier.

It is not yet clear whether the vehicles will be available in the Uber lawsuit – the firm says it is still developing details.

He used to say he intends to add them as a normal option through his UK app as soon as the legislation permits.

The Transport Department states that the industry can create 38,000 jobs and add 42 billion pounds to the UK economy by 2035.

But when talking to the BBC last month, the National Secretary of the GMB Andy Prendergast said that “significant social consequences” cars without drivers and taxi may have – including unemployment – should also be fully considered.

In March, Uber launched Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, and said his vehicles without drivers could run 20 hours a day, seven days a week.

Customers there may choose whether to take robotx if there is one, no difference in the passage. Tesla plans to launch competitive service in the same city in June.

Fully cars without drivers spent millions on public countries and in other countries, including in China, the UAE and Singapore, but whether they will be more or less safe than human being managed.

Many studies believe that automated vehicles are less prone to accidents than a person based on the US data.

But there have been a number of incidents related to roboticis in the countries where they work, starting from road accidents to blocked passengers.

And one San Francisco service was canceled after a series of malfunctions.

In May, I drove in a car equipped with an autonomous kit through Central London. We had a person driving driver at the wheel, but he did not have to use the control elements once during a 30 -minute journey.

The car handled every potential danger that appeared on the busy streets, including congestion, temporary traffic lights, cyclists and, at one point, a pedestrian that uses crutches in the middle of the road.

The Ford Mach-E was equipped with sensors and radar, and a system operating on AI’s real-time car reactions.

If anything, it was much more careful than the human driver who made a soothing trip.
