Uber's self-driving robo-taxis to be available in the UK this summer in London

Uber has unveiled its fleet of self–driving robotaxis, which will soon take to the streets of London. Designed in collaboration with Wayve, the robotaxi is an all–electric Ford Mustang Mach–e, equipped with surround cameras and radar. The high–tech set–up allows Wayve's AI to see the world with full 360–degree visibility around the car at all times. Initially, the cars will have a licensed operator behind the wheel. However, Uber says that fully driverless operations will begin 'in the future'. 'We're thrilled to soon bring Wayve's British–built autonomous technology to the Uber platform in London, the city where it was developed and trained,' said Annie Duvnjak, Global Head of Autonomous Mobility Operations at Uber. 'Together, with Wayve, we're bringing a new way to ride in London while helping establish the UK as a global hub for autonomous innovation.'
