Uber $UBER Technologies and Wayve secured regulatory approval to offer supervised autonomous rides in London, after Transport for London granted private-hire vehicle licenses to a number of Wayve's autonomous vehicles on Wednesday.
The licensed vehicles are all-electric Ford $F Mustang Mach-E cars equipped with Wayve's AI Driver system and surround cameras and radar, the companies said. Each trip will include a trained and TfL-licensed private-hire driver onboard to monitor the ride and take control if needed.
