Wayve and Uber steal a march on Waymo with paid self-driving London rides

Wayve and Uber have launched paid self-driving rides in London, positioning themselves ahead of Waymo in the city. The current fleet consists of 15 Mustangs operating on London streets. While these vehicles currently require safety drivers, the upcoming Nissan LEAF follow-up could potentially operate without them. This strategic move marks a significant step for Uber and Wayve in the autonomous vehicle market, while reports also indicate that OpenAI intends to develop humanoid robots.
