Londoners are now able to hire self-driving taxis for the first time(首次，第一次), after rides in Wayve’s autonomous(自主的，自动的) vehicles were added to the Uber app on Thursday.
周四，Wayve 的自动驾驶汽车服务正式接入 Uber 应用，伦敦市民首次能够预约自动驾驶出租车。
The chances of landing a robotaxi on request immediately are slim(微小的，渺茫的), with only 15 vehicles so far licensed(获得许可的，领有执照的). That contrasts with(与……形成对比) the more than 100,000 private hire vehicles in the capital – roughly the same number of Uber customers who have registered(注册的，登记的) to take autonomous rides.
目前仅有 15 辆车获得许可，因此想立即叫到一辆自动驾驶出租车的可能性很小。这与伦敦超过 10 万辆的私人租赁车辆形成鲜明对比——而注册体验自动驾驶行程的 Uber 用户也差不多是这个数字。
The cars will still come with a licensed human driver sitting in the front seat, ready to take over(接管，接手) the controls should the need arise.
这些车辆仍将配备一名持证的人类驾驶员坐在前排，随时准备在必要时接管控制。
