London's mayor has called for a cap on the number of robotaxis operating on the city's streets, according to The Guardian.

This call comes as the UK government prepares to permit fully driverless vehicles to operate in London.

The mayor expressed concerns that politicians have not fully understood the rapid pace of change brought by this technology.

He highlighted potential negative impacts including threats to jobs, increased congestion, and questions about whether current rules for autonomous cars are adequate.
