Fusion42 · 30 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

Uber and UK startup Wayve have obtained permits to launch robotaxi services with safety drivers in London, preceding planned rollouts from Waymo and Baidu.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 4 sources have reported it between 5 Aug 2026 and 6 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Robotaxi founders in London can now move from planning to launch with Uber and Wayve approved to operate. The window closes for latecomers facing licensing delays and early customer acquisition challenges.
