Wayve Uber wins first minicab licence for autonomous cabs from TfL but vehicles will have a safety driver (at first)
The taxi app company Uber and the autonomous technology developer Wayve have been granted the first minicab licences in London, allowing them to offer self-driving taxi rides to paying customers – but with a human safety driver in place, for now.
The companies said they would start trips in the UK “later this summer” before the full public launch.
