Gas firm revises pipework plans after disruption
The firm behind a project to replace gas pipes near a busy junction in Hull has confirmed it has revised its plans to "minimise the inconvenience" caused by the works.
Northern Gas Networks has told the BBC it would remove temporary three-way traffic lights from Beverley Road, at the Strand Close junction, on Monday.
It followed complaints from motorists that the work, which started on 27 May, had caused delays at the junction of Beverley Road, Ferensway, Freetown Way and Spring Bank.
Officials said a "rolling closure" of a bus lane would be in force for 12 weeks while contractors work to replace aging metal pipework with a plastic variant.
Northern Gas Networks had apologised on Thursday for the disruption caused by the roadworks and said it had held talks with Hull City Council.
In a statement, the firm said the "only remaining restriction" would be the closure of a section of the northbound bus lane on Beverley Road.
A spokesperson added: "This will initially be closed from the junction with Strand Close and will be a rolling closure which will gradually move up Beverley Road."

London Assembly Members Tell Mayor To Oppose Car Bloat
Old Mini next to new Mini. A majority of Members of the London Assembly—the 25-member elected body that scrutinizes the work of the London Mayor—voted on June 5 to oppose 'carspreading,' the phenonomen of automobiles becoming wider, heavier and taller. This car bloat, also known as 'autobesity,' damages London's roads, said the London Assembly motion, causing congestion, and putting pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers at greater risk of death and serious injury. Cars are getting bigger by an average of 1 centimeter every two years, with many new cars now too large for U.K. minimum parking spaces. Elly Baker AM, who proposed the motion, said: 'London's streets weren't designed for larger vehicles like SUVs, which now make up a third of all cars on the road. Their greater size, weight, and higher [hoods] put vulnerable road users at greater risk, reduce available parking spaces, and cause more wear and tear on our roads.' She added: 'It's time we took sensible steps to manage the impact of oversized cars and ensure our streets remain safe and accessible for everyone.' The vote was won by 14 votes against eight. The motion states that the 'consequences of surging vehicle size undermine goals for road safety, air quality and put outsized pressure on public finances.' The Assembly now calls on the Mayor to write to the Department for Transport asking that they update vehicle regulations to introduce tighter limits on passenger vehicle size and hood height. The Mayor is further urged to write to HM Treasury asking for a progressive tax on passenger vehicle weight via Vehicle Excise Duty. The Assembly is also calling for London Councils to explore the feasibility of boroughs charging higher parking charges to SUVs to account for pressure they put on road space and local parking spaces. In a referendum last year, the citizens of Paris voted to triple parking fees for SUVs. Today's BMW-built Mini is much wider than the British Motor Corporation's 1959 original, and is also taller and longer. Other famous car models—such as the VW Beetle and the Ford Fiesta—have also increased markedly in size and weight. Modern cars are larger partly because of airbags, crumple zones and air conditioning units, but also because consumers prefer larger motor vehicles—hence the success of SUVs. The motor vehicle 'arms race' has led to calls from motorists for road lanes to be widened and parking spaces to be enlarged. Roads in most British cities are becoming more and more choked as wider motor cars struggle to squeeze past each other. There's an epidemic of pedestrian-unfriendly 'pavement parking'—wheels half up on the sidewalk—and tempers fray when wing mirrors are bashed as porkier cars pass each other. Research from Transport & Environment (T&E) in 2022 found that 'autobesity'—car bloat—is real, with many cars getting too big for British roads, exceeding the 180 centimeter minimum for on-street parking. More than half of new cars sold in 2023 were too wide for the minimum specified on-street parking space in major U.K. cities. Off-street parking is now a tight squeeze even for the average new car, while large luxury SUVs often make it impossible. Fatter cars are heavier cars. And heavier cars cause more highway damage. Richard Hebditch, UK Director for T&E UK, said: 'The trend of cars getting wider has been progressing for decades and that trend will continue until the U.K. sets stricter limits. Currently we allow new cars to be as wide as trucks. This has meant our roads are now home to big SUVs and American style pick-up trucks that are parking on our footpaths, endangering pedestrians and cyclists and making everyone else on our roads less safe.'

Uber to launch driverless taxis in London next year
For more financial news, go to the News24 Business front page. Ride-hailing firm Uber will launch self-driving taxis in London next year when England trials new driverless services, the firm and the UK government said on Tuesday. Under the Uber pilot scheme, services will initially have a human in the driver's seat who can take control of the vehicle in an emergency, but the trials will eventually transition to being fully driverless. The government announcement will see companies including Uber allowed to trial commercial driverless services without a human presence for the first time in the UK. They will include taxis and "bus-like" services. Uber CEO Andrew Macdonald described London's roads as "one of the world's busiest and most complex urban environments". "Our vision is to make autonomy a safe and reliable option for riders everywhere, and this trial in London brings that future closer to reality," he said. Members of the public will be able to book the transport via an app from spring 2026, ahead of a potential wider rollout when new legislation -- the Automated Vehicles Act -- becomes law from the second half of 2027, the Department for Transport added. The technology could create 38 000 jobs, add £42 billion ($57 billion) to the UK economy by 2025, and make roads safer, it said. "The future of transport is arriving. Self-driving cars could bring jobs, investment, and the opportunity for the UK to be among the world-leaders in new technology," Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said. "We can't afford to take a back seat on AI…. That's why we're bringing timelines forward today," added Technology Secretary Peter Kyle. The wider rollout will also allow the sale and use of self-driving, private cars. Driverless vehicle trials have been under way in the UK since January 2015, with British companies Wayve and Oxa "spearheading significant breakthroughs in the technology", the ministry said. "These early pilots will help build public trust and unlock new jobs, services, and markets," said Wayve CEO Alex Kendall. According to the government, the forthcoming legislation will require self-driving vehicles to "achieve a level of safety at least as high as competent and careful human drivers". "By having faster reaction times than humans, and by being trained on large numbers of driving scenarios, including learning from real-world incidents, self-driving vehicles can help reduce deaths and injuries," it said. Driverless taxis with limited capacity are already on the roads in the United States and China, most notably in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where a fleet of over 500 can be hailed by app in designated areas.

Wayve and Uber plan London robotaxi launch after UK speeds up autonomous vehicle rollout
U.K.-based autonomous vehicle technology company Wayve and Uber plan to launch a fully driverless robotaxi service in London in the coming years. The news comes soon after the U.K.'s announcement of an accelerated framework for self-driving commercial pilots. U.K. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander confirmed Tuesday that the U.K. government would fast-track pilots to spring 2026, up from late 2027, to incentivize investment in autonomy in the country. Wayve and Uber did not share many details of their upcoming launch, such as when exactly the companies would begin trials and service, with how many vehicles, or via which vehicle manufacturer partner or partners. Wayve said in April that its tech would be headed to Nissan vehicles. The announcement follows Uber's strategic investment into Wayve in 2024 that promised to see the startup's AI integrated into consumer vehicles that will one day operate on Uber's platform. A Wayve spokesperson told TechCrunch the companies would start in the U.K. capital and scale out to greater London and beyond from there. First, every company involved in launching a robotaxi service would need to prove relevant safety cases to regulators. 'We have a partner ecosystem for bringing a service to market,' Sarah Gates, Wayve's director of public policy, told TechCrunch. 'Wayve provides driving intelligence integrated into a base vehicle provided by a vehicle manufacturer, and then we would have a fleet operator, and Uber would operate the service. So each part of that supply chain would need to prove safety and responsible deployment for what they're responsible for.' In Wayve's case, the company needs to prove the safety of the system and how it drives within its operational design domain. Uber would have separate commitments around operating a passenger service responsibly and having things like customer service in place. 'This is a defining moment for U.K. autonomy,' Alex Kendall, Wayve's CEO and co-founder, said in a statement. 'With Uber and our global OEM partner, we're preparing to put our AI Driver technology into real service on the streets of London, delivering on our AV2.0 vision for scalable autonomy. Our Embodied AI learns to drive anywhere, in any vehicle, and this trial brings us closer to bringing safe and intelligent driving to everyday rides across the UK and beyond.' Wayve recently published a blog detailing the initial findings from its 'AI-500 Roadshow,' a project to visit 500 cities using a single AI model by the end of 2025. So far, the startup has hit 90 cities in 90 days, spanning Asia, Europe, and North America. The demonstration is designed to prove that Wayve's technology can operate anywhere it's placed, rather than relying first on mapping a region. That's relevant data to a company like Uber, which operates globally and has been doing deals with almost every AV company to scale its autonomous capabilities fast. 'Uber has got one of the largest mobility networks globally, so the fact that our AI can serve as their global network is a big reason why this partnership and this [driverless] trialing is so important,' Tilly Pielichaty, a Wayve spokesperson, told TechCrunch. 'We are starting in the U.K., but the ambition is to take it everywhere.'
