MT Newswires Live06-08 21:19

Uber Technologies (UBER) has established a waitlist for customers interested in trying a Wayve Technologies robotaxi in London ahead of a planned commercial launch in the UK this year, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing a statement from Uber.

UK users will be able to join the "interest list" through the Uber app and raise their chances of being matched with a robotaxi once the service starts, according to the report.

Uber did not give a timeline for the service launch, the report said.

The autonomous vehicles will use software and systems developed by Wayve and initially be supervised by a human operator, the UK-based autonomous vehicle firm told Bloomberg.

Uber and Wayve did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
