Uber and Wayve launch London’s first commercial robotaxi service
Uber has launched London’s first commercial robotaxi service using autonomous-driving technology from UK startup Wayve. The initial Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles will still carry human safety operators. Reports say the cars operate without lidar or a fixed geofence, making the supervised launch a significant public test of Wayve’s approach.
Why it matters
A commercial launch gives Wayve and Uber a high-profile proving ground in a major, complex city.
