Watch: BBC travels in self-driving Uber around London

Customers in London can now travel in the UK's first robotaxis as Uber launches its self-driving minicab on Thursday - the company is the first to launch the service.

Initially, it only has 15 autonomous vehicles with a licence to operate in the city, and each one must have a human safety driver behind the wheel ready to take control if anything goes wrong.

At the moment, the UK fare for a robotaxi ride will be the same fare as a standard UberX, Uber Electric, or Uber Comfort journey, with upfront fares shown in the app.

The BBC's Zoe Kleinman was the first British journalist to hail a self-driving Uber in London - here's how the ride went.
