Wayve, a London-based startup, has developed an AI self-driving system that operates without high-definition maps or coded interventions. The company recently secured a billion-dollar investment from major players like Softbank, Microsoft, and Nvidia, marking a significant milestone in European AI funding. Founded in 2017, Wayve's approach to autonomous driving focuses on a purely AI-driven model, setting it apart from competitors like Waymo and Tesla.
Wayve's technology aims to replicate human driving behavior by learning from real-life driving scenarios. The company plans to provide AI-driven advanced driver assistance systems to car manufacturers, starting with Level 3 autonomy. With a growing team and a new testing base in California, Wayve is poised to make a significant impact in the autonomous vehicle market.
