According to The Guardian, the deputy mayor for transport, Isabel Dedring, claimed the city’s officials have recently met with Google to persuade the firm to extend the pilot to London.
Dedring said that: “It’s going to have to work in big cities, so why don’t we start trialling it now?
Google have said they are focused on the US, but they’re starting to think about going elsewhere, so we’re in active discussions”, adding “We met them a few weeks ago to see whether they would do trials here.
It is still very early days, but we would be keen for trials to happen in London whenever Google are ready to move them into other countries”.
Google may be tempted by the offer as its cars must be tested in all conditions and a variety of roads.
London therefore would provide a valuable testing ground for the firm.
