# US self-driving car company Waymo announced plans to launch its robotaxis in London next year, as the UK moves to develop an autonomous vehicle market. London would mark the first foray into Europe for Waymo, owned by Google parent Alphabet and already present in a growing number of cities in the United States. Under the pilot scheme, members of the public will be able to hail a driverless taxi via an app, once the company receives regulatory approval.
