Uber to bring self-driving cars on to Britain’s streets next year
Uber is preparing to test fully self-driving taxis on London’s roads for the first time.
The US ride-hailing company confirmed on Tuesday it had signed a deal with Wayve, an autonomous driving and artificial intelligence start-up founded in Cambridge, to pilot its technology on UK roads from next spring.
The trials come after Heidi Alexander, the Transport Secretary, brought forward rules that will allow advanced driverless taxi and bus services to operate on British streets from 2026.
