Wayve and Uber are collaborating to launch a driverless robotaxi service in London, following the UK government's expedited framework for autonomous vehicle pilots, now set for spring 2026. The partnership involves integrating Wayve's AI into vehicles, initially focusing on London before expanding. Each company must demonstrate safety to regulators, with Wayve ensuring system safety and Uber handling passenger service. This initiative marks a significant step in UK autonomy, with plans for global expansion.
