Wayve and Uber plan to launch a fully driverless robotaxi service in London following the UK government's accelerated framework for self-driving commercial pilots.
Details of the upcoming launch, such as trial start dates, number of vehicles, and partners, were not disclosed. Wayve's technology is set to be integrated into Nissan vehicles for this service.
The partnership is a result of Uber's strategic investment in Wayve in 2024, aiming to integrate AI technology into consumer vehicles, eventually operating on Uber's platform.
Wayve's recent AI roadshow aims to demonstrate the capability of its technology to operate globally without the need for extensive mapping, aligning with Uber's strategy to expand autonomous capabilities rapidly.
