London's black cab drivers are fiercely resisting the rise of AI-powered autonomous taxis on the city's ancient roads, insisting their deep local knowledge trumps digital navigation like Google Maps.

This brewing battle underscores human intuition's edge over algorithmic efficiency in navigating complex urban environments.
