Uber and Wayve launch a public robotaxi service in London, with the first rides operating on a limited basis. The companies say they are running a “small fleet” of all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles equipped for self-driving operation.
CNET reports that during early operations, a safety operator remains in the driver’s seat. The Evening Standard and The Independent also describe the service as a first launch using the same electric vehicles, framing it as an initial rollout rather than citywide coverage.
Across the outlets, the shared focus is on the debut of this robotaxi programme in London and the use of Ford’s Mustang Mach-E as the platform for the service. Differences in emphasis are mainly about operational details—particularly the presence of a safety operator in the car during initial public rides—while all sources agree on the launch itself, the location, and the vehicle fleet involved.
