Sadiq Khan calls for cap on robotaxis in London

London mayor Sadiq Khan has called for a limit on the number of robotaxis allowed to operate on the capital's streets. The move comes as self-driving services, including companies like Waymo and Uber, look to expand in UK cities, with Transport for London involved in oversight. The proposal signals concern over safety, congestion and the pace of autonomous vehicle rollouts, and is likely to fuel debate over how Britain regulates driverless transport.
Why now: The rise of autonomous taxi services is prompting cities to demand regulatory limits, and the London mayor's intervention is newsworthy.
