Uber partners with AI firm Wayve for autonomy trials in UK

Uber Technologies Inc has tapped AI firm Wayve to launch public road trials for Level 4 autonomous vehicles in the UK, according to a joint press statement on Tuesday. Industry body Society of Automotive Engineers classifies vehicle autonomy in six levels, ranging from Level 0 to Level 5. Level 4 driverless vehicles have high autonomy but are restricted to an area. A human driver can assume manual control in case of an emergency or system failure. Alphabet had launched its L4 Waymo One in Arizona in December 2018, while Volvo and Baidu collaborated a month before that for this endeavour. The Uber-Wayve deal makes the UK largest market where the cab hailing platform intends to pilot autonomous vehicles. These trials will combine Wayve's Embodied AI platform with Uber's global mobility network.
