Uber and Wayve launch supervised robotaxi rides in London with fewer than 20 cars
Uber and Wayve started supervised robotaxi rides in London on September 3, 2026, making it the second European city for Wayve's robotaxis after Zagreb. Riders who request UberX, Uber Comfort or Uber Electric may be matched with a Wayve-powered Ford Mustang Mach-E at no extra cost. A licensed operator rides in each car, and fully driverless service still needs regulatory approval.
- Launch: September 3, 2026, supervised, with a licensed operator on board
- Fleet at launch: fewer than 20 Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles
- Riders on UberX, Uber Comfort or Uber Electric may be matched at no extra cost
- Driverless operation needs further approvals, including from Transport for London
