Uber has launched what it describes as the UK's first robotaxi service, deploying 15 self-driving vehicles that nonetheless carry human safety drivers, BBC Technology reported.

According to the report, the vehicles are being offered through Uber's ride-hailing app, marking the company's initial step into autonomous vehicle operations in the country.

BBC Technology noted that despite the self-driving technology, each of the 15 taxis includes a safety driver on board, a measure that allows for human intervention during rides.

The BBC report included an account of what it was like to ride in one of the vehicles, though further details on the technology, operating area, and rollout timeline were not fully specified in the available material.

Uber has not yet provided additional comment beyond what was included in the BBC's coverage.
