Taxis: Driverless Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 5 June 2026 to Question 3807, whether specific changes were made to Automated Passenger Services policy as a direct result of feedback from Unite the Union.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government continues to engage with a wide range of stakeholders as part of the development of policy on the Automated Passenger Services permitting scheme.
Policy has been developed holistically, taking account of the full range of consultation responses and ongoing engagement. Feedback from Unite the Union has been considered alongside evidence from other trade unions, industry stakeholders, safety bodies and the public. This input has informed the overall policy approach to the pilot scheme, particularly the emphasis on passenger safety, local authority engagement and workforce impacts.
