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.


The 2026 El Niño Is Being 'Supersized' as Impacts Worsen

WIRED

The World Meteorological Organization is warning that the climate phenomenon that has the Pacific running a fever will last until at least February, with dire consequences for weather worldwide. The world's leading weather organization is sounding the alarm about this year's super El Niño, issuing its most certain forecast in the history of the organization. In an update issued early Thursday, the World Meteorological Organization predicted a "nearly 100% likelihood" that the El Niño will last through February. The strong language from the World Meteorological Organization--the United Nations' weather and climate agency--underlies just how historic this El Niño is shaping up to be. "This is the first time that a WMO El Niño/La Niña Update has been so unequivocal," the agency says, noting that certainty reflects "the strong agreement within WMO's extensive network."
