Uber brings forward trialling driverless taxis in UK
Published: 6/10/2025

Uber to trial driverless taxis in UK with AI firm Wayve in London next spring, following changes in UK government rules. The AI-powered vehicles are set to operate without human safety drivers, aiming to accelerate the introduction of small autonomous commercial services. It remains unclear if customers will have access during the trial, as Uber plans to integrate them into its UK app when legislation allows, potentially creating economic benefits while raising concerns about the social impact on unemployment.
