    @alexgkendallIn 2018, our first test vehicles hit UK streets. Today, we’re launching the UK’s first supervised autonomous service with @Uber, continuing @wayve_ai's decade-long history of firsts. Request a ride today, London. https://wayve.ai/press/wayve-uber-launch-autonomous-rides/
    @EMostaque@alexgkendall @Uber @wayve_ai Congrats! Look forward to trying
    @UberLondon, meet your newest way to ride. 🇬🇧 Autonomous rides powered by @wayve_ai are now on Uber. British-built AI. London roads. Same Uber app. Off we go.
    @schwarzjn_I'll never get tired of self-driving cars. It’s like riding a roller coaster in real life, with the added appreciation of the algorithms running them. Can’t wait to try them in London 💂‍♂️
    @andrewgordonmacLondon is live 🇬🇧 Autonomous rides powered by @wayve_ai are now on the @Uber app in the UK! British-built tech, developed on London's roads, now in the hands of everyday riders Our model is simple: partner with the best AV tech in the world, pair it with Uber's scale, distribution and operating muscle. @Wayve_ai is that model in action Hybrid is the future - AVs and human drivers, side by side. 30+ AV partners globally and counting. More to come

    @BloombergTVCan an AI driver master London’s 2,000-year-old roads? @wayve_ai is launching robotaxi rides through Uber in the world’s most challenging driving environments. CEO Alex Kendall explains the path from safety drivers to fully autonomous rides https://bloom.bg/4iINx2C
    @nvidiaHuge congrats to our friends at @wayve_ai and @Uber. Wayve’s frontier AI, trained on NVIDIA infrastructure and running on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX accelerated compute, is now taking passengers through the streets of London. Let’s ride. 🚘🇬🇧
    @biztradegovukFrom a UK startup to autonomous vehicles navigating the streets of London. @wayve_ai's launch with @UberUK showcases how UK-founded AI companies are turning cutting-edge research into real-world technology. Watch as @jreynoldsMP joins the team to experience it first-hand. @Sarfraz_Maredia | @alexgkendall
