Driverless Waymo robotaxi services spotted in London

Waymo cars have been spotted on the streets of London as the driverless robotaxi firm aims to launch in the UK as early as September. The vehicles, designed to be fully autonomous taxis with no-one in the driver's seat, are currently being tested in London ahead of a targeted rollout by the fourth quarter of 2026. The company, a unit of Google parent Alphabet, has grown slowly but steadily over the years in the United States despite tough regulations and expensive technology, enabling it to look at scaling up its presence abroad.
