But the prospect of driverless cars replacing human-driven taxis has been the cause of some alarm. “If you get rid of the driver, then they’re unemployed,” said Dennis Conyon, the south-east director for the UK National Taxi Association. “It would have a major impact on the labor force.” London has about 22,000 licensed cabs and Conyon estimates that the total number of people who drive taxis for hire in the UK is about 100,000.
