Prospects in London can now journey within the UK’s first robotaxis as Uber launches its self-driving minicab on Thursday – the corporate is the primary to launch the service.
Initially, it solely has 15 autonomous autos with a licence to function within the metropolis, and each should have a human security driver behind the wheel able to take management if something goes mistaken.
For the time being, the UK fare for a robotaxi trip would be the identical fare as a typical UberX, Uber Electrical, or Uber Consolation journey, with upfront fares proven within the app.
The BBC’s Zoe Kleinman was the primary British journalist to hail a self-driving Uber in London – this is how the trip went.
