Transport for London has granted private hire vehicle licences to Wayve's autonomous Ford Mustang Mach-E cars, moving closer to driverless rides. Over 100,000 Londoners have already signed up for a chance to try the service, which will begin with select riders later this summer. However, a trained human driver will remain onboard to oversee trips and take control if necessary.
