Summary

  • Uber began taking sign-ups in its UK app on Monday for London riders who want early access to Wayve robotaxis before the service starts later this year.
  • The new “interest list” lets customers register their preference and improve their chances of being matched with a Wayve autonomous vehicle once commercial operations begin.
  • Uber did not give a launch date, leaving timing for the London rollout unspecified even as it starts building demand ahead of the UK debut.
