Transport for London granted Private Hire Vehicle licenses to Wayve's Ford Mustang Mach-Es, enabling Uber's supervised robotaxi trial with licensed drivers onboard. This move finalises London's triple-lock licensing for operator, driver, and vehicle while setting up a UK race between Wayve's AI-driven and Waymo's lidar-based robotaxi models.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a new path to market in London with supervised robotaxis now licensed for commercial trial. Lock in partnerships with Uber or TfL-linked services fast since demand and regulatory approval are aligned.
