Partnership Provisional 90% confidence first seen

Uber and Wayve announced and launched supervised autonomous Uber rides in London, using Wayve’s AI Driver in all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles. Riders can request UberX, Uber Electric, and Uber Comfort and are matched with a Wayve ride at no extra cost for an initial phase that includes a trained, TfL-licensed private hire driver supervising the trip. The coverage describes this as part of their partnership, which previously included an investment to place Wayve-powered vehicles on Uber’s network starting with London, expanding access to autonomous rides in the UK.
