By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Uber and Wayve are launching London's first AI-powered robotaxi service later this year, marking a significant step for autonomous vehicle deployment in Europe. The service will initially feature a small fleet of Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles equipped with Wayve's end-to-end deep learning AI, capable of human-like driving without geofencing. While safety monitors will be present, the companies aim to offer a commercial self-driving experience, with plans to expand to other major cities like Tokyo. AI
