Uber Adds Wayve Robotaxis to London App Interest List Ahead of Regulated Launch

U.K. can now join an interest list to increase their chances of being matched with a Wayve autonomous vehicle. Uber announced the interest list on Monday in London along with a branded, black Ford Mustang Mach-E equipped with Wayve’s self-driving system.

Uber designed the in-vehicle rider experience, including interactive touchscreens that support 64 languages. After launch, Uber customers who request a ride may be matched with a Wayve vehicle at no additional cost compared with a traditional human-driven one.

Riders can increase their chances of getting a robotaxi by going into account settings, clicking on rider preferences, and selecting autonomous vehicles.

If matched with an AV, riders will be able to decline it and opt for a human driver. The Wayve robotaxis will initially have a human safety operator behind the wheel before fully driverless operations begin, Uber stated. Uber said the robotaxi service will launch in the coming months pending regulatory approval.

Waymo began testing its autonomous vehicles with human safety operators in London in April. The company is testing about 100 of its autonomous Jaguar I-Pace vehicles in a 100-square-mile area of the city. Waymo put its self-driving vehicles on Uber’s app in Phoenix in 2023.

Uber and Waymo expanded their partnership in March 2025 to put Waymo vehicles on the Uber app in Austin and later in Atlanta. In Austin and Atlanta, customers cannot hail a Waymo robotaxi directly through Waymo’s app and must use the Uber app. Uber has invested in and partnered with dozens of autonomous vehicle companies including Wayve over the past two years.
