Good news! British/London cabs will never be the same again, but are still on display in museums! London calling!

"Wayve and Uber ... today [6/10/2025] announced a first-ever plan to develop and launch public-road trials of Level 4 (L4) fully autonomous vehicles in London. This announcement marks the UK as the largest market where Uber has announced an intention to pilot autonomous vehicles. These trials will combine Wayve’s industry-leading Embodied AI platform with Uber’s global mobility network, marking a significant step forward in bringing autonomous vehicles to the streets of Europe at scale. ..."
Wayve and Uber Partner to Launch L4 Autonomy Trials in the UK (original news release) "Wayve and Uber announce a first-ever plan to develop and launch public-road trials of fully autonomous vehicles in the UK."
Looks almost like a Waymo! Can they not be a little bit more creative with their designs! Just kidding!
