TfL licenses Uber-Wayve robotaxis in London, with safety drivers still required

Transport for London has licensed a small fleet of Wayve-equipped electric Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles as private hire cars, allowing Uber to offer supervised autonomous rides in the capital while a qualified human driver remains legally in charge. Fully driverless commercial service is still blocked pending a separate national permit, so the first paying trips will look more like a monitored minicab than an empty front seat.
