San Francisco residents are stopping driverless cars in their tracks by placing cones on their hoods after one of the vehicles killed a dog, as firm blasts
Uber could deploy driverless Chinese vehicles onto Britain's roads as part of a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Uber has already made a pledge that all of its vehicles in London will be electric by the end of next year, while it has vowed to achieve net zero emissions across the whole of the UK by 2030. Although last year, the then transport Secretary Mark Harper claimed driverless cars could be allowed on Britain's roads and motorways 'as early as 2026'.
Some 126,000 Uber drivers out of 7 million had zero emissions vehicles at the end of 2023. The company plans to accept only drivers with EVs in Europe and North America from 2030. 'Uber and BYD share a commitment to innovate towards a cleaner, greener world, and I am excited to work together towards that future,' said Chuanfu Wang, Chairman and President of BYD.
BYD produces a number of EVs in different price segments, including a small hatchback that starts at under $10,000 in China, and is rapidly expanding the number of countries to where it exports and is planning to build factories in Europe.
