I saw my first driverless car - a Waymo - in London today.

I was, fortunately, in a cycle lane on the other side of the road, but that also meant that I couldn't get a photo.

@neil
Do you have any idea why it was in a cycle lane?

@neil I do not appreciate their arrival on our roads. I've seen one too so far, also with driver.
