UBER AND WAYVE LAUNCH LONDON'S FIRST PUBLIC ROBOTAXI SERVICE, BEATING WAYMO TO THE CITY

Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter

Uber began deploying Wayve-powered autonomous vehicles across London on Thursday, marking Wayve's first commercial public service anywhere in the world and making London only the second European city with robotaxis, after Zagreb. The initial fleet, fewer than 20 Ford Mustang Mach-Es with plans to add Nissan Leafs later, keeps a licensed safety operator behind the wheel for now, and riders booking UberX, Comfort, or Electric may get matched with one at no extra cost.
