A black cab driver has questioned Waymo driverless taxis after spotting one on the streets of the capital.
Terry Purkiss was left stunned after he spotted the driverless motor being rolled out for testing.
The white vehicle could be seen breaking whilst overtaking a bus.

The driverless motor was seen moving down Park Lane, west London, last Thursday (22 Jan).
Despite Waymo being marketed as the next step in travel, the 58-year-old has claimed he has reservations about them.
The 58-year-old East Londoner, who now lives in Essex, has also claimed they will never replace black cab drivers.
Waymo is currently testing vehicles in the capital, with plans to operate within a number of boroughs.
The business claims its testing runs 24/7 to ensure the technology can handle all of London’s road conditions.
The announcement was made in October last year with driverless taxis now on the road in 2026.
“Personally, I would definitely not feel safe,” Terry claimed to Need To Know.
“It wouldn’t affect the black cab trade because of London knowledge.
“We are the best in the world for getting around the busiest city for traffic.
“Using bus lanes as well is a massive advantage.”
