TechUber beats Waymo to launch London’s first robotaxi service

Uber has launched London’s first commercial robotaxi service, beating Waymo to the market. The vehicles use autonomous-driving technology from UK startup Wayve and initially carry licensed safety drivers. They use cameras and radar rather than lidar and operate without a geofence, while Uber says the drivers will eventually be phased out.
