They (along with Waymo) plan to launch services in London this year - it will be very interesting how they cope with the often complex non grid roads, huge number of pedestrians, buses and cyclists, not to mention the militant black cab drivers.

I don't see self-driving cars ever working in the UK.

It's hard enough for a human driver to negotiate their way through for example York, never mind a computer that can only react painfully slowly to outside influences.

I fully expect to see a lot of written-off self-driving cars scattered along the A82 through Glencoe, Cluanie, and Inverinate, as they entirely fail to cope with deer, sheep, and feral goats.
