Want a ride in Uber and Wayve's first driverless London taxis? Here's how to boost your chances
Uber is launching driverless taxis in London — but your chances of getting one are slim.
Uber users in London now have the opportunity to ride in the company's first autonomous taxis. Just 15 Wayve Ford Mustang Mach-E models, equipped with radar, Lidar, and various sensors, will be operating in Greater London, near Bexley, Barnet, and Rickmansworth. During the pilot phase, a TfL-certified driver will be present to supervise the ride.
However, it is uncertain when fully driverless services will commence. To enhance the likelihood of encountering an autonomous vehicle, users should ensure they have the latest app version and enable AV preferences in their settings. Despite the low probability of being matched with a Wayve vehicle due to the limited number of these taxis, users can still rate their ride once it's over.
