Wayve

Develops autonomous vehicle technology using AI

About Wayve

Wayve.ai develops self-driving technology known as AV2.0, which focuses on creating a smarter and safer approach to autonomous vehicles. Their technology uses embodied AI software that allows vehicles to learn from their experiences and adapt to different environments without needing detailed programming. This method is different from traditional self-driving technologies that often rely on expensive hardware and pre-mapped data. Instead, Wayve.ai employs end-to-end deep learning, making their solution more cost-effective for automakers. The company targets automakers and fleet operators, offering them adaptable and affordable solutions for driving automation. Wayve.ai has already partnered with major retailers in the UK to test its technology in delivery fleets, aiming to enhance mobility and sustainability in the automotive industry.
