When I was in San Francisco earlier this month, I took a Waymo for the first time — and got very, very cross that we don’t have them in London yet. I wrote about my gripes (and how to fix this) for the Greater London Project:

There’s basically no good reason why we don’t have self-driving cars on our streets still. All the excuses people give are nonsensical (and often flatly false). The technology is ready — and safe. The government just needs to get its act together.

@ShakeelHashim This should be called: “Dude, where’s my [self-driving] car?”

@ShakeelHashim I also have quite a big bet riding (hah) on them being in London by 2026 so would be great if Sadiq could listen maybe a little

@ShakeelHashim Yes, I also tried it for the first time this summer in SF and loved it. Wish we could have it in Berlin, too!

@ShakeelHashim Felt the same about trams when I went to Germany
