Uber, Wayve, Waymo Vie for London Robotaxi Market

Uber is preparing to launch a robotaxi service in London, partnering with Wayve for autonomous vehicle technology. Customers can join an interest list, with rides potentially matched to Wayve vehicles at no extra cost. This move positions Uber to compete directly with Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving unit, which is also testing its autonomous vehicles in London. While Uber and Waymo have a partnership in the US, their London ambitions signal a growing rivalry in the burgeoning robotaxi sector. Regulatory approval remains a key step before the service can officially launch.
