Robotaxis will carry paying passengers for the first time on UK roads this summer, a company developing the technology said. Kaity Fischer, who leads Wayve’s self-driving cabs business, declared it was “ready to go” as in a tie-up with ride hailing app Uber in London.
A human driver will initially sit behind the wheel ready to take control during journeys while the technology is demonstrated to be safe. Uber passengers will be offered self-driving vehicles at the same fare as its conventional minicabs. It has begun enabling users to express their desire to be among the first people to try the new service.
