# Uber, Wayve and Waymo are headed towards a robotaxi showdown in London

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Uber has opened an interest list for UK customers to be matched with Wayve autonomous vehicles, signaling an imminent robotaxi launch in London. The service will use branded Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles with Wayve's self-driving tech and Uber's in-car interface. Waymo is also testing 100 Jaguar I-Pace vehicles across a 100-square-mile area of London, setting up a direct competitive clash. This complicates the existing Uber-Waymo partnership in the US, which is already showing strain — Uber's CTO publicly criticized Waymo's safety on social media. Uber has invested heavily in Wayve, including up to $300M contingent on London robotaxi deployment. A UK regulatory framework for AVs is still in development, meaning a full commercial launch remains pending approval.
