Uber与英国科技公司Wayve于周四在伦敦推出自动驾驶出租车服务1。该服务采用配备Wayve自动驾驶技术的福特野马Mach-E电动车提供1，初期部署少于20辆车1。乘客通过Uber应用召唤车辆时，可能被匹配到自动驾驶车辆，但无法主动要求1，价格与普通Uber车辆相同1。
与美国和中国的同类服务不同，伦敦的自动驾驶出租车仍需配备人工安全驾驶员1。英国政府试点框架要求运营商即使在无人工安全驾驶员的情况下也需获得批准才能运营1。相比之下，美国Waymo已在14个城市运营完全自主无人出租车1，中国的百度、WeRide和Pony.AI也在多个城市部署自动驾驶出租车1。Uber上月在克罗地亚萨格勒布推出了欧洲商业自动驾驶出租车服务1。
Uber and British technology company Wayve launched their first autonomous taxi service in London on Thursday, marking a significant step in Europe's adoption of self-driving vehicles 1. The service operates Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles equipped with Wayve's autonomous driving technology 1. Unlike fully autonomous operations in the United States and China, London's robotaxis are required to have a human safety driver on board, reflecting current regulatory requirements in the United Kingdom 1.
The initial deployment consists of fewer than 20 vehicles 1. Passengers using the Uber app may be matched with an autonomous vehicle when requesting a ride, though they cannot specifically request a self-driving car, and pricing remains the same as standard Uber services 1. This launch follows Uber's earlier introduction of a commercial autonomous taxi service in Zagreb, Croatia last month, which was Europe's first such offering 1.
The expansion of autonomous taxi services in Europe contrasts with developments elsewhere: Waymo operates fully driverless robotaxis across 14 cities in the United States, while Chinese companies including Baidu, WeRide, and Pony.AI are running autonomous taxi services in multiple cities 1. The British regulatory framework for autonomous vehicle pilots requires operators to obtain approval before deploying vehicles without human safety drivers 1.
