According to The Guardian, the deputy mayor for transport, Isabel Dedring, claimed the city’s officials have recently met with Google to persuade the firm to extend the pilot to London.<br />Dedring said that: “It’s going to have to work in big cities, so why don’t we start trialling it now?<br />Google have said they are focused on the US, but they’re starting to think about going elsewhere, so we’re in active discussions”, adding “We met them a few weeks ago to see whether they would do trials here.<br />It is still very early days, but we would be keen for trials to happen in London whenever Google are ready to move them into other countries”.<br />Google may be tempted by the offer as its cars must be tested in all conditions and a variety of roads.<br />London therefore would provide a valuable testing ground for the firm.
