- Apollo Go began robotaxi road testing in London today, partnering with both Uber and Freenow by Lyft at the same time rather than choosing one platform
- The London launch comes days after Apollo Go ran the first fully driverless trial in any right-hand-drive market, in Hong Kong
Why it matters: Apollo Go is the first operator to run fully driverless trials in right-hand-drive markets, and entering London with both Uber and Freenow as partners at once — rather than picking one — gives it distribution across two of ride-hailing's largest platforms simultaneously.
