Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are beginning to carry passengers on London’s streets. What will this mean for the city, its transport network and the people who rely on it? As this new technology moves closer to becoming part of everyday urban transport, it brings significant opportunities to make journeys safer, improve connectivity and accelerate the shift to electric vehicles. But their introduction also raises important questions about how London manages this transition, from congestion and regulation to the future of professional drivers.
Join BusinessLDN, in partnership with Uber, for a member briefing exploring the opportunities and challenges ahead.
