Uber and Wayve are gearing up to launch a robotaxi service in London, allowing Uber customers to join an interest list to increase their chances of riding in a Wayve autonomous vehicle. This move puts Uber in direct competition with Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving leader in the U.S., which is also testing autonomous vehicles in London.

The launch awaits regulatory approval amid ongoing UK government efforts to create autonomous vehicle regulations.
