Uber has opened an interest list for customers keen to try autonomous minicabs in the capital, as self-driving taxis near a commercial launch in the UK. The ride-hailing giant is partnering with British autonomous driving firm Wayve, whose technology has been tested on London's streets since 2018. Customers can now opt in through the Uber app for a chance to be matched with one of the vehicles when the service launches, which both companies expect to happen in the coming months, subject to regulatory approval.
