The UK is preparing to introduce its first self-driving taxis without human safety drivers onboard, a move led by Uber in partnership with AI firm Wayve, set for next year. This follows the government’s announcement to advance trials ahead of the previously scheduled 2026 timeline. These trials could reduce road fatalities and spur economic growth, with projections of significant job creation and investment benefits. While robotaxis are already operational in other countries, there remains public skepticism regarding their safety relative to human drivers.
The UK's self-driving cars will operate without human backup, marking a significant shift in road safety and technology, with trials starting next year.
Uber, in collaboration with Wayve, is set to launch self-drive taxis in London by next year, potentially revolutionizing transportation and job opportunities.
