Watch: BBC travels in self-driving Uber around London

Uber launched its self-driving minicab service in London on Thursday, becoming the first company to offer robotaxis in the UK. Currently, there are 15 autonomous vehicles licensed to operate in the city, each requiring a human safety driver ready to take control if necessary. The fare for a robotaxi ride is the same as that for standard UberX, Uber Electric, or Uber Comfort journeys.
