Waymo starts self-driving car tests in London with modified Jaguar I-Paces ahead of a 2026 UK ride-hail launch.
Waymo has begun testing its self-driving cars in London, using modified Jaguar I-Pace vehicles with left-hand steering wheels adapted for UK traffic, as part of preparations for a 2026 launch of its autonomous ride-hail service.
The vehicles are being tested across boroughs including Camden, Westminster, and Barking and Dagenham, with human safety drivers currently present.
Waymo’s 'Waymo Driver' software, capable of detecting objects up to 500 meters away, operates without human intervention in full service, though trials are ongoing for safety validation and mapping.
The UK government’s 2024 law permitting self-driving vehicles on public roads supports the sector’s projected growth, with estimates of £42 billion in economic contribution and 38,000 jobs by 2035.
Waymo already operates in multiple U.S. cities.
