People in London can now book self-driving taxis through the Uber app for the first time.

倫敦的民眾現在首次可以透過 Uber 應用程式預約自動駕駛計程車。

The autonomous vehicles, which are made by the British technology company Wayve, were added to the app on Thursday.

However, the chances of getting one of these robotaxis are very low because only 15 cars have been licensed so far.

駕駛員已準備好在發生故障時接管控制。

Transport for London licensed Uber and Wayve's modified Ford Mustang cars as private hire vehicles last month.

倫敦交通局上個月批准了 Uber 和 Wayve 改裝的福特野馬汽車作為專車營運。
