Uber launches autonomous taxis in London
Uber has launched autonomous taxi services in London for the first time through its app, using a vehicle operated by the company "Wayve" equipped with artificial intelligence-based technology. Robotaxi services are now available, but the number of permitted vehicles is limited to 15, with a licensed human driver sitting in the front seat to ensure safety, due to the lack of full regulatory approval to operate without a driver. This step represents a significant advancement in London's autonomous vehicle taxi market, which is a strategic market in Europe, despite companies like "Waymo" and "Baidu" testing similar services in the city. Full approval to operate driverless vehicles requires obtaining additional licenses from governmental regulatory bodies, which is unlikely to be granted within this year. The "Wayve" technology relies on AI learning models rather than detailed maps, and the company plans to scale up vehicle production using Nissan Leaf technologies. The actual deployment of autonomous vehicles in London remains limited due to regulatory restrictions, although autonomous driving technologies are currently available in other cities worldwide.
