Checkmate, Tesla Cybercab! Uber to trial driverless taxis in London
Uber is to begin trials of driverless taxis in London next year, ahead of the Tesla Cybercab, which is touted to make its debut in the US 'before 2027'. The ride-hailing platform has already been working with UK artificial intelligence firm Wayve to perfect its Level 4 autonomous driving technology in what Uber has described as 'complex driving environments'. This announcement comes shortly after the Government said it would begin implementing a fast-tracking framework to introduce autonomous 'taxi and bus-like' pilot services to UK roads; the previous Conservative administration originally intended to put in place legislation to see fully autonomous taxis on UK roads by 2026, but this has since been pushed back a year. Advertisement - Article continues below In a statement, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the UK's commitment to autonomous vehicles will 'drive growth, create 38,000 jobs and add £42 billion to our economy.' Uber has not confirmed whether its driverless taxi pilot scheme will be open to the general public or how it will be implemented; the firm says it will announce details in the coming months. Nevertheless, its chief operating officer, Andrew Macdonald, reiterated that: '[Uber's] vision is to make autonomy a safe and reliable option for riders everywhere, and this trial in London brings that future closer to reality.' Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Of course, there is still a long way to go before our streets are fully populated by autonomous vehicles; the Government's Automated Vehicles Act will require driverless cars to 'achieve a level of safety at least as high as competent and careful human drivers'. Liability in the event of an accident will be placed on the firm responsible for the taxi itself, with occupants blameless for anything that occurs. If there are controls mounted in the car, occupants will instead be referred to as 'users-in-charge', but they can still escape liability in some instances. While Uber looks poised to introduce its driverless services in a matter of months, many firms (including Tesla) have hit roadblocks along the way, with critics questioning the feasibility of implementing such schemes safely. The general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association, Steve McNamara, told the Guardian newspaper that the Government is 'living in fantasy land. We're probably going to have flying taxis before we have autonomous ones in London. 'Most people haven't got a robot hoover or a robot lawnmower even though they are absolutely fantastic,' McNamara remarked. 'Are people who don't trust a robot to cut their grass or clean their house going to trust one to take their kids to school or drive their elderly mum around? Come back to me in 2040.'

Sham parking firms fail to return 20 cars to Brit holidaymakers leaving them stranded at major UK airport
BRIT holidaymakers were left marooned at an airport after finding their cars missing. They left their motors with rogue parking firms who failed to return them. 3 3 Homebound Brits were left stranded upon their arrival back in the UK at Bristol Airport, after 20 cars failed to be returned to their owners. Police have launched a crackdown operation against these unofficial 'companies' after receiving numerous complaints. The reports to the police detailed vehicles sustaining damage and unaccounted extra miles on the clock. The airport's policing team collaborated with the , North Somerset Council and the Motor Insurance Bureau during an enforcement day on June 3. The forces discovered 20 vehicles which had not been returned to their rightful owners. Consequently, many were left marooned at Bristol Airport for hours waiting for their cars to be recovered before they could get back home. Some of those unable to leave the airport were families with young children. The officer in the case supporting the operation, Sgt Danielle Hardaway said: "The last thing anyone wants is the worry over whether their car will be returned to them or not when they return from holiday. "This operation was carried out as part of our commitment to keep the airport safe, maintain vehicle standards, and to promote the safety of passengers going to and from the airport, who should be able to do so with confidence in using licensed vehicles. "We have had reports of cars being returned damaged or with excess mileage and, in some cases, have been driven by people who are uninsured as well as being involved in driving offences." The cars have now been returned to their owners by the police. However many of them were found to be in undrivable or unroadworthy conditions. Avon and Somerset police even reported that some cars had been left in hazardous or obstructive places around nearby villages - such that they required towing. The police have issued a photo which shows one customer's car being used to distribute keys around the local areas. In the picture, keys are piled on the front seat and in the footwell, which poses a threat risk. Following the operation, investigations are underway into three unlicensed 'taxis' and other suspected offences including no insurance, immigration, and licensing issues. Dave Lees, Chief Executive, Bristol Airport, said: "We welcome this latest operation and will continue to work with colleagues at Avon and Somerset Police and North Somerset Council to tackle these rogue operators. "They are a nuisance to local communities and cause distress to customers who use them – with many completely unaware of where their cars end up. "We urge everyone to look for the Park Mark accreditation, which all of our car parks have, so they have the peace of mind knowing their vehicle is safely parked while they enjoy their trip away. "We also ask our customers to be respectful of our neighbours and not to park or drop off outside their houses or drop litter." Sgt Hardaway also offered some guidance to holidaymakers to avoid this happening in future: "We are now in the summer months and therefore a busy holiday season for both travellers and Bristol Airport alike. "We ask people to always choose reputable parking operators, and to choose them carefully, and if the price seems too good to be true, then it often is." "We advise people, when booking parking anywhere, to look for the British Parking Association's police-backed Park Mark Safer Parking scheme." 3

SUVs are a 'growing threat to public safety' and drivers can't see children as old as nine directly in front of them
The ever-increasing height of bonnets on new cars sold in the UK has become a 'clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children,' a new report published on Wednesday claims. The dramatic rise in popularity of SUVs has been blamed for triggering a half centimetre average increase in height of bonnets on new models sold each year. The higher front of cars significantly increases the death rate when pedestrians are struck, as vulnerable road users are more likely to be pulled under a moving vehicle rather than bounce off them, it said. The analysis also suggested that drivers in the tallest SUV models can no longer see a child as old as nine at all when they are standing directly in front of the vehicle. Transport & Environment, the green campaign group behind the study that has been lobbying for demise of SUVs for years, says the UK has an especially large number of cars with the tallest bonnets. It attributes this to a high volume of sales of Land Rovers, which - along with Jeep - only sells vehicles with bonnet heights of over a metre. Its researchers accused these car firms of 'trading on the intimidation that comes with high-fronted vehicles [and] ignoring their related dangers'. T&E's analysis of the new car market found that the average bonnet height of a passenger car sold in the UK has jumped from 77cm in 2010 to 84cm in 2024 The report pointed at Jaguar Land Rover and Jeep for only selling cars with bonnet heights over a metre tall. However, JLR has hit back saying its vehicles use the latest technology designed specifically to mitigate collisions with pedestrians and vulnerable road users A Jaguar Land Rover spokesperson responded to T&E's claims telling This is Money: 'JLR is committed to the highest safety standards and our vehicles are made with the strictest adherence to safety requirements. 'We continually invest in safety and advanced technology features – which, amongst other things, include pedestrian detection, 3D surround camera systems, and autonomous emergency braking (AEB).' While Land Rover and Jeep were singled out in the report, both have traditionally only sold 4X4 vehicles for years as part of their heritage. The report said that in a collision with a pedestrian, a high-bonneted SUV is more likely to strike the vital organs in the core of an adult's body - and the head of a child. When colliding with a pedestrian above their mid-section and higher than their centre of gravity, there is an elevated likelihood that they are knocked forward and down - and then ran over by the same car that's hit them. In contrast, vehicles with lower bonnets tend to collide with pedestrians' legs, resulting in them falling onto the vehicle or being deflected to one side and away from secondary danger. The think tank said cars with higher front ends (like the Land Rover Defender pictured) are more likely to hit a pedestrian and then drag them underneath the moving vehicle, increasing the risk of death The environmental think tank's analysis of the new car market found that the average bonnet height of a passenger car sold in the UK has jumped from 77cm in 2010 to 84cm in 2024. A study conducted by Loughborough University School of Design on behalf of the campaign group tested the visibility of children from high-fronted cars. It found that a driver of a Ram TRX pick-up truck was unable to see children aged up to nine (1.36m tall on average) who were standing directly in front, while a Land Rover Defender driver could not see children aged up to four and a half (1.1m tall on average. Popularity of SUVs to blame, says T&E This increase in car bonnet heights correlates with a huge surge in SUV demand, with jacked-up 4X4-type models representing more than half (56 per cent) of all new cars registered in Europe last year - up from just 12 per cent in 2010. Last year, SUVs overtook superminis for the first time in history to become the nation's favourite new car body type, representing 33 per cent of all registrations. A decade earlier, SUVs accounted for just 12 per cent of new cars entering Britain's roads. A recent study suggested that Britons are increasingly being pushed into choosing these larger vehicles which are now dominating manufacturer showrooms, making up more than half of all car options on sale in the UK. There are 193 different SUV and 'crossover' (conventional hatchbacks with increased ride height) variations across the 35 most popular brands sold in the UK in 2025, a report by CarGurus found. This is an uplift of 543 per cent compared to 2000 when just 35 SUV variants were available, the comprehensive review of the new car market has revealed. The advocacy group has already criticised the automotive sector's shift to SUVs, describing it as 'carspreading' and 'autobesity'. It said the industry has allowed newer vehicles to become much larger in scale to seem more appealing to drivers but to the detriment of vulnerable road users - including cyclists - who are more likely to suffer injury if hit buy one. 'The intention is clear: [car] companies are trading on the intimidation that comes with high-fronted vehicles, ignoring their related dangers,' the report said. 'The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children. 'With no benefit to society, it's time for lawmakers at all levels to act,' it concluded. There is no legal limit to bonnet height in the UK and Europe. However, T&E called on policymakers to introduce one for 2035, restricting them to selling cars with front ends no taller than 85cm. 'A child is killed every day on our roads, yet cars are being made so large that children are invisible from the driver's seat. How is that acceptable?' said Barbara Stoll, senior director of T&E's Clean Cities campaign. 'Thankfully, more and more city leaders are pushing back against carspreading, standing up for what citizens actually want – safe, green streets without monster vehicles.' Steve Gooding, director of motoring research charity the RAC Foundation, said: 'Over the past decade the number of pedestrians hurt or killed on the roads has fallen, but only at around half the rate of car occupants. 'It is incumbent on carmakers to ensure they pay enough attention to those around a vehicle as to those within it, and that will include making assessments about car heights and weights.' Backlash against SUVs intensifies Paris and Lyon in France, and Aachen in Germany, are among the cities that charge bigger cars more to park. In the UK, councils in Cardiff, Bristol, Oxford and Haringey in London are looking into similar measures and last week the London assembly called for limits on bonnet height. Last week, Sir Sadiq Khan was urged to seek higher taxes and parking fees for SUVs. A report by the IEA calculated that if SUVs were a country, they would be the world's fifth largest emitter of carbon dioxide behind China, USA, India and Russia Parisians voted last year to muscle SUVs off the French capital's streets by making them three times more expensive to park, and called on London to follow suit Wide load: Transport & Environment previously accused supersized SUVs of leaving less room for other road users as well as being too big for standard parking bays London Assembly Members agreed a motion calling on the mayor to take action because of fears that the increasing size of cars is damaging road surfaces, causing congestion and putting other road users at greater risk of death and severe injury. The London Assembly called on Sir Sadiq to ask the Treasury to amend vehicle excise duty to include a tax based on vehicle weight. It also wants the mayor to request that councils in the capital consider charging more for parking larger cars, and to call on the Department for Transport to introduce tighter limits on the size and bonnet height of passenger vehicles. The motion was agreed by 14 votes in favour and eight votes against. The International Energy Agency recorded record global SUV sales in 2024 and record SUV CO2 emissions of one billion tonnes. If SUVs were a country, they would rank as the fifth most polluting in the world, the IEA said.
