Wayve was founded in 2017 by leading experts in artificial intelligence from the University of Cambridge, pioneering a new approach to autonomous driving based on end-to-end machine learning. Today, Wayve’s global team is advancing AV2.0, a next-generation embodied AI system that can learn from real-world experience and large-scale data, and generalize across cities, vehicles, and driving conditions worldwide.
Headquartered in London with offices across Europe, North America, and Asia, Wayve is deploying its AI Driver technology on public roads in multiple markets. The company is working with Nissan to bring its AI Driver to consumer vehicles and with Uber to launch robotaxi services in over 10 cities starting in London and Tokyo in 2026. Backed by leading investors including NVIDIA, Microsoft, Uber, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis, Wayve is building a global ecosystem to accelerate the deployment of safe, scalable automated driving.
In less than a decade, Wayve has demonstrated its ability to scale autonomous driving through an AI-first approach. The company’s ambition is to bring autonomy to any vehicle, anywhere.
“To build autonomy that can scale, we are pioneering the embodied intelligence that enables AVs to drive in any domain.”
