英国科技公司Wayve的自动驾驶汽车已正式加入Uber应用平台，标志着伦敦首次推出自动驾驶出租车服务1。目前仅有15辆获得许可的改装福特野马车投入运营，每辆车均配备持证安全驾驶员，随时准备接管控制1。运输局Transport for London上月已批准Uber和Wayve的改装车为私人出租车1。
伦敦约有100,000辆私人出租车，已有约100,000名Uber用户注册体验自动驾驶服务1。不过，完全无人驾驶的商业运营仍需通过司机与车辆标准局的额外审批1。Wayve首席执行官Alex Kendall表示："我不想给它定一个时间表，但我们尽快推进"1。
Wayve计划进一步转向日产Leaf量产机器人出租车1。与此同时，Uber已在克罗地亚萨格勒布于今年夏季推出了欧洲首个商业机器人出租车服务1。
British autonomous vehicle company Wayve has launched self-driving taxis on London's roads through the Uber app, marking the capital's entry into commercial robotaxi operations.1 Currently, only 15 modified Ford Mustang vehicles have received licensing approval, each equipped with a certified safety driver ready to take control if necessary.1
The Transport for London authority approved Wayve and Uber's modified vehicles as private hire cars last month.1 However, full driverless commercial operation requires separate approval from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, a process that is unlikely to be completed this year.1 Around 100,000 Uber users in London have already registered to experience the autonomous driving service.1
Wayve's Chief Executive Alex Kendall stated: "I don't want to put a timeline on it, but we're moving as quickly as we can."1 The company plans to transition toward mass-produced Nissan Leaf robotaxis in the future.1 This development follows Uber's launch of Europe's first commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb, Croatia this summer.1
