@Waymo one of your robo "cars" has been spotted charging on a TAXI ONLY charger.
Just to re-iterate - THESE ARE NOT TAXIS.
And they never will be. Taxis are publicly hired, fully accessible vehicles with a driver who has undergone the rigorous testing regime known as The Knowledge of London.
Despite what our thick media say, Robo-taxis, you are not. You are robo cars and when you eventually tout for business, you will be robo-private-hire cars.
Any use of the term "Taxi" in your branding or marketing will be against your operating rules.
Perhaps you need to make that clear to your test drivers.

It snowed so much overnight, the elderly neighbor was overwhelmed and was buried in by the snow that was pushed into the driveway by the city plow. This man was plowing his own driveway and decided to go over to his neighbors and help them do theirs as well.
After he plows the neighbors driveway, a few hours later he gets a visit from the police, someone called the cops on this for doing that and he is now being cited for breach of peace and illegal deposit of snow.
The man refuses to sign the ticket, he is refusing to go to court despite the officer stating that he would arrest him for it. This goes on for some time and the man eventually gets arrested for plowing the neighbors driveway. Would you have refused to sign the ticket as well?
After being sacked for retrieving a passenger’s stolen necklace from a thief, London bus driver Mark Hehir has seen a huge surge of public support, with a petition calling for his reinstatement gaining traction online.
Mark becomes emotional as he’s praised by the passenger whose necklace he recovered, before telling @susannareid100 and @edballs how much he loved his job.
This woman called for an Uber so that she could go and visit her friend, when the Uber showed up, it wasn’t the one in the picture on the app, but it can’t be a coincidence that it was this one that showed up. A moment before it showed up, a man walked by, and seemed to circle her, once the fake Uber showed up, the man who circled her tried to force her into the car, she managed to fight them off and got away. Could the actual Uber that she was assigned to in the app have been involved in this, how else would could this have happened?
Freedom of Information disclosures from @WolvesCouncil show that in just three months, seventeen allegations of sexual assault or rape were recorded involving Wolverhampton-licensed private hire drivers- and not one of those alleged attacks happened in Wolverhampton.
This is nothing short of a state-enabled safeguarding failure!

Uber has rewritten contracts with drivers outside of London to avoid paying millions of pounds to the Exchequer.
Let’s be clear: Uber’s “agency model” is a scam.
If you control the price, the payment, and the rules, you are the principal- full stop!
This is nothing more than regulatory arbitrage, and Uber should be forced to pay!

I’ve just chased and apprehended a shoplifter out of BP Shenfield and retrieved the steaks he’d stolen. I’ve returned the swag to the manager.
Shoplifting is an epidemic and the authorities don’t seem to care. Britain is going to the dogs.
Some of us won’t let that happen.
