Resolves YES if any city in the UK has a self-driving taxi service generally available to the public. This includes via a waitlist, if the waitlist is open to the public.

This service only needs to cover part of the city; Waymo's service area in LA would be sufficient to resolve YES, if LA was in the UK.

Londoners are able to hail the UK's first robotaxis - as Uber today becomes the first company to launch a self-driving minicab.

Initially, it only has 15 autonomous vehicles with a licence to operate in the city, and each one must have a human safety driver behind the wheel ready to take control if anything goes wrong.

Essentially Waymo wants to launch by September 2026, Wayve is intending 'sometime in 2026' and Apollo Go is intending to enter with Uber and Lyft as partners 'pending regulatory approval' - My comment on the other market goes into more detail
