A YouGov survey of 1,053 people finds that 42% of Londoners oppose the introduction of autonomous passenger vehicles, including self-driving taxis. The survey results indicate that a majority position is not unanimous, with opposition specifically reported at about two in five residents. The figures are presented alongside ongoing development of “robocab” services in London. Trials of autonomous or self-driving taxi-style vehicles are already underway on the capital’s roads, according to the reports. The articles describe the public opinion findings as London prepares for further testing and potential wider deployment of autonomous passenger technology. The coverage focuses on the proportion of residents expressing resistance rather than breaking down views by age, location, or other demographics. No additional survey details, such as the questions asked beyond opposition to autonomous vehicles or the remaining respondents’ views, are provided in the excerpts. Overall, the sources link current pilot activity with the level of public concern measured by the YouGov poll.
