Uber Opens Waitlist for Wayve Robotaxis in London

*Uber is collecting names for early rides in Wayve’s driverless cars as it prepares a commercial launch in the UK later this year.*

Uber Technologies Inc. opened a waitlist for London customers who want to ride in a Wayve robotaxi. The move precedes the planned start of paid service in the UK this year.

The waitlist lets riders register interest before the service begins. No start date or pricing details have been released.

Wayve supplies the vehicles and autonomy software. Uber will handle the customer interface and dispatch through its existing app.

Limited public information

The announcement contains no figures on fleet size, number of cities beyond London, or regulatory approvals secured so far. Bloomberg Technology reported only the existence of the waitlist and the target year for commercial operations.
