Bristling with sensors and electronic eyes, robotaxis are appearing on London's streets. British start-up Wayve, in partnership with Uber, is racing to beat US rival Waymo, owned by Google-parent Alphabet, and China's Baidu to launch in the British capital, where winding streets, heavy roadworks and pedestrian traffic bring unique challenges.
