This week's Picture News- Are driverless taxis a good idea?


Taxi company, Uber, wants to test cars in London that can drive by themselves, without a person at the wheel. The UK government has changed the rules to let this happen sooner. Many believe the service could bring new jobs, but others are worried about human drivers losing work. The cars have performed well in tests, though checks are still needed to make sure they are safe. Some people have already tried riding in these cars to see how well they work.

Things to talk about at home...
*Share your experience of public transport and whether you've used a taxi.
*How do you feel about using a driver less taxi? Would you use one? Why?
*Can you make a list of the pros and cons of driverless taxis?
