Three Robotaxi Programs Now Testing in Parallel Across London

Baidu's Apollo Go RT6 robotaxis began road testing in London's Brent borough on July 28, 2026, with human safety drivers aboard. They join Waymo and Uber/Wayve, making London host to three concurrent autonomous ride-hailing programs. The Baidu-Lyft-Freenow service, branded "Freenow by Lyft," targets public rides in 2027, pending Transport for London and UK government approval.
