According to Lyft, its robotaxi fleet in Europe will first be launched in Germany and the United Kingdom next year, but notes this is “pending regulatory approval.” If all goes to plan, the company expects to scale up its fleet significantly in the years that follow, eventually deploying thousands of vehicles across the continent.

Lyft has only recently entered the European market with its acquisition of Freenow, announced in April. US markets including Phoenix, Austin and San Francisco already have robotaxi services from companies including Waymo and Tesla. Uber recently announced a global plan to deploy robotaxis with Lucid and Nuro starting next year.

The companies want to launch the robotaxi services in Germany and the U.K. first, pending regulatory approval.
