    This report focuses on the challenges and how effectively the Mayor and Transport for London “monitor and plan for the emergence of new technology” - specifically Connected and Autonomous Vehicles; app-based services; and drones. Recommendations include the Mayor and TfL considering “the potential development and impact of autonomous bus technology”; that TfL and London Boroughs look at “whether to introduce a London-wide licensing regime for dockless cycle hire”; and that the Mayor and TfL “should proactively engage in discussions with the Government, London Boroughs, the drone industry, National Air Traffic Services and other relevant stakeholders about the future control system for drones in London”.
