Uber is launching robotaxis in London powered by Wayve, directly challenging Waymo’s dominance in the U.S. market. Riders can join an interest list for a chance to ride in autonomous vehicles—no extra cost—and can still opt for human drivers. Though Uber and Waymo previously partnered in U.S. cities, tensions are rising as Uber pivots toward Wayve and other AV startups, even publicly criticizing Waymo’s safety record. The London rollout faces regulatory delays as the U.K. government finalizes autonomous vehicle rules through a pilot program, leaving the exact timeline uncertain—but the race for driverless rides is heating up.
