Uber and British AI firm Wayve have launched the UK's first robotaxi fleet in London using autonomous electric vehicles, initially with human safety drivers onboard. Full autonomy without drivers awaits regulatory approval, and the robotaxis will be integrated into Uber's existing app at standard pricing.
