Petition Action

Stop driverless cars coming to UK

Petition Details

Stop driverless cars from being introduced in the UK. We think they will threaten the jobs of over 300,000 private hire and London black cab drivers. We want the Government to block the rollout of autonomous taxis and protect drivers’ livelihoods.

Additional Information

Driverless taxis could put over 300,000 private hire and taxi drivers out of work across the UK. Many drivers rely on this industry to support their families, pay rent, and manage rising living costs. The Government must protect workers, ensure job security, and prevent mass unemployment by stopping the rollout of autonomous vehicles.
