@uber has officially launched self-driving rides in London, the first time autonomous trips have been available to the public anywhere in the UK. ๐ฌ๐ง
Riders requesting an UberX, Uber Electric, or Uber Comfort may now be matched with an all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E powered by London based AI company @wayveai, at no extra cost. Passengers can accept the autonomous car or switch to a regular Uber before it arrives, and the cars can travel anywhere in London apart from airports.
The rides are not fully driverless yet. A TfL licensed driver stays onboard to supervise during this first phase, and Uber says it is starting with a small fleet before expanding gradually. More than 140,000 Londoners have already opted in through the app @UberUK.
