Wayve is a technology company developing embodied AI systems for autonomous vehicles. Founded in 2017, the London-based firm applies end-to-end deep learning and foundation models to enable cars to learn and navigate complex real-world environments without relying on high-definition maps.
The company's core product, AI Driver, is a hardware-agnostic software platform designed for automotive manufacturers. It uses mapless approaches to support the deployment of automated driving features at scale, with a focus on safety and adaptability across varied driving conditions.
Wayve has raised $1.3 billion in funding to support its research and development efforts. The company maintains offices in London, Silicon Valley, and Vancouver, positioning it within key hubs for both automotive engineering and artificial intelligence research.
Technical work at Wayve spans several domains, including machine learning, embodied AI, and autonomous driving systems. The company's approach centres on training AI models that can generalise across diverse driving scenarios rather than relying on pre-mapped routes.
