Uber and Wayve launch London's first robotaxi service

On September 3, 2026, Uber and autonomous driving company Wayve launched London's first robotaxi service. The service uses supervised self-driving vehicles, meaning a safety driver is present, and operates on the city's busy and winding streets. This launch comes as Europe is considering more self-driving vehicles on its roads. The move follows Uber's exit from Nigeria, highlighting its focus on expanding autonomous ride-hailing in key markets.
