Hope they get better software engineers than the current "sensus" bunch.

So our expensive, premium cars are going to become taxis. Great.

I tend to think if a car is being used for a taxis then they are probably good cars.

From the look of the interior of the new London cab, they already are taxis.

Mmmm.
With the accuracy of Volvo's GPS / SatNav sometimes being off by miles, it should make for some interesting taxi trips 😀.

Well at least if your car breaks down you can now travel in style. Hertz Spain have changed my usual Merc B Class hire to V40’s so a lot is happening globally.
