Tomorrow many train companies saying only travel if absolutely necessary. Tfl say: “consider if your journey is necessary.” When systems fail (which they will in this heat) if fewer passengers a lot easier to deal with. Good luck.

New @YouTube video dropping on BBC London channel in 10 mins on driverless cars … it was ….discombobulating. https://t.co/RwarttIf1A

[Tom Edwards @BBCTomEdwards]

The London regulation around carrying passengers in driverless minicabs is really interesting & not certain. 2 routes - permit via Govt with Tfl consent OR if safety driver apply through normal PHV process at Tfl. That is going to be contentious.
