Uber Technologies (UBER) and its partner Wayve received "Private Hire Vehicle" licenses from Transport for London for a number of Wayve's autonomous Ford (F) Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles, the companies said Wednesday.
The licenses bring the partners closer to bringing autonomous rides to London as the Ford vehicles feature the Wayve AI Driver, along with surround cameras and radar, according to the statement.
The companies said they've seen strong interest in autonomous rides in London, with more the 100,000 signups for autonomous Wayve on Uber in the last eight weeks. Select riders will be given access to Wayve rides later this summer, ahead of the service's public launch, the companies added.
