The black cabs in London don't use Sat navs. It's an old tradition. =)

They do use sat navs you knob, there not fucking robots

London Cabbies (the black cabs) don't use sat navs.

It's only a London thing though. London taxi drivers are famous for having to know the place that well

this was common standard in most big cities in europe until the early 2000s

Wtf cab drivers in Sweden barely even speak Swedish

So how do foreigners show up and know all the streets

@@aziatic8352 no they just use waze same where im from

Thank you

That is generally true of humanity.

Fred Housego was a London taxi driver. He won the BBC Mastermind title in 1980.

not everybody has the same brain , hat is the biggest lie in modern times .

theklrdude oo B-but we are all equal.

The Luddites were pissed that the Industrial Revolution rendered their skills obsolete

@@TheSecondVersion Forgive me for being blunt, I am not concenred about how much I spend on cabs. Not to be too arrogant but the wealthy lot especially the Chinese like to show their circles that they can afford black cabs. Black cabs will survive all the times because the rich LOVE THEM You won't witness driverless cars 'mixed together" with man driven vehicles for at least another 20 years. In fact the only human cars permitted to drive in London will be black cabs and black cabs ONLY so quite simply they will become EVEN MORE desirable than they are already and even more of a tourist and rich man's game and this is why the drivers have good lives.

l h this is true I’m London born and bred and Workig class I’ve used a black taxi maybe twice in my life and that was to impress women at the time, used countless phv, now I’m doing the knowledge it’s a real struggle but I’m sure there is a future for the trade just the same as harrods and selfridges is still trading whilst people are mostly going to Asda and Lidl.

🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻

@@TheSecondVersion the issue is more the fact that uber treats their drivers like absolute shit

London GPS, yes.

Is he a machine? Perhaps it's what they want us to be.

Exactly .

Naming the long routes is a or can be a nightmare so much pressure .

Surely they still don’t need to know all this when sat Mac’s are so common these days

If you lack the interest, you are wasting your time all together.

Seems very ironic. I used to think I was academically minded. But I'm not a savant.

@@therespectedlex9794 you don't have to earn doctorate degree or always winning a contest. All it takes is never stop learning if opportunity given. Then, you are still "academically minded" that is unless your interest to kept on gaining wisdom vanished. I am the exact opposite, i used to loath education. math and long text lines of programming makes my head dizzy. Now i usually fight it to exercise my mind. There's some old saying that "be the stupidest person amongst the genius, rather than be the smartest among them" Cause you'll never learn anything if you're being so confident at specific task/knowledge, other will reluctant sharing their view of same subjects

Same here only in the UK. After going somewhere once I try & mentally visualise the local roads so I know where to go

@@iainrudge1991 Mark me down for a third one of the type that wouldn't be able to get a taxi certification in London, because I'd give the route saying: "Alright, so out the front of the hotel and turn left, larger road there turn right, keep going south-southwest as it changes street names several times, merge onto York Road, and then there's a diamond interchange to use to turn around and it's right there." We'd probably lose so many points for only using one street name...

You should play Geoguessr, you can make money

You are just like my father. He uses navigation for the first time but then remembers how to get to that destination every other time. I on the other hand sometimes even struggle to find places with Google maps. I don't know how you guys manage to do this.

Do the test then lad

Tarnation Bob haha it's a small world!

They’ve done races a multitude of times across London, black cabbie beats sat nav everytime.

@@paulies5407 not even just that though I'd rather sit in a black cab, talk to a nice English bloke called dave, James Jack whatever about common English bollocks than sit in ahmeds poxy prius doing 15 everywhere to avoid using petrol and keep it on the electric motor, listening to prayers and sat in silence.

@@jjmmjj9999 that’s abysmal from you right there, “ahmed” wouldn’t want you in his car anyway

well your hippocampus grows once you complete the knowledge, so yes your memory capacity grows.

It doesn't actually transfer into different facets of life. There was a study on professional chess players which tested their ability to memorise chessboards with random pieces over the board. They were able to correctly recall all 32 pieces with just 20 seconds of memorisation time. They are also know to be able to play whole games of chess in their mind /blindfolded. To see if this ability could transfer away from chess, they had them try to memorise a string of numbers. The chess players did not get a higher score than the average human in this test.

Kobi Morton I does. Memorization actually raises your IQ and perceptive skills. For instance, where ever this man goes, his brain will automatically start memorizing street names out of habit. Try being a cashier and learning hundreds of PLUs- you'll soon be seeing numbers everywhere and memorizing them. But, unfortunately, if you do not keep up, your brain stagnates.

Kobi Morton do ya now. that's good to know

You've clearly never heard of the MCAT before

London has been there a bit longer than cars or New York.

What's your point?

Could ask you the same question.

My point is the new york grid network is more efficient in terms of route distance

Nowhere in this video does anyone mention New York, so why are you talking about New York

brandon alford that's business ... supply and demand get over it

danny walton yeah, lets destroy peoples lives because thats business. Fucking idiot.

"Destroy lives" lol. Get a grip on reality. The competition in the market has been that way forever, if you fail to acknowledge that you are ignorant as fuck. If he cant adapt the world isn't going to wait for him, because no one cares.

brandon alford People don't really use Uber in London because the people don't know where they're going 😂😂
