Uber launches a supervised commercial robotaxi service in London with Wayve’s autonomous driving technology

Deployment ● Confirmed 90% confidence first seen

Uber began offering commercial robotaxi rides in London via its app, using Wayve autonomous driving technology and an onboard human safety driver to supervise the early service. The initial rollout uses a limited fleet of autonomous vehicles and is planned to be phased, while timelines for fully driverless operations were reported as less likely to meet regulators’ earlier targets.
