Uber launches London's first robotaxi ahead of Waymo with Wayve AI
TL;DR Summary
Uber has launched London’s first commercial robotaxi service using Wayve’s AV2.0 autonomous-driving system, with safety drivers at the wheel and no lidar or geofence; Uber will maintain the fleet with Otto Car while Wayve runs the autonomous system. Waymo plans to launch its own robotaxis in London later this year, and Uber’s move tests demand for driverless ride-hailing outside the US and China.
