Wayve

Day 3, video #3. Every day this week we are releasing a new hour-long, zero-shot autonomous drive from a new country around the world. Do you recognise this location? It is Japan! 🇯🇵 Yokohama in wet conditions from highways to tight, bustling urban roads. Check it out!

Video #2. Every day this week we are posting an hour long video of zero shot AI Driving in a different country all around the world. This time we're in Germany, driving around the rolling hills and into Stuttgart. 🇩🇪 Check it out! What matters now is scaled autonomy performance. We built our first world model in 2018. First VLA reasoning model in 2022. First generative simulator in 2023. Today we have integrated these into safe and compliant product ready for global scale. We're delighted to be partnering with the German ecosystem to bring autonomy to the rich heritage of brands. Together, we will build market-leading products for both consumer vehicles and robotaxis.

Today, @RachelReevesMP announced that Sovereign AI will officially launch with @alexgkendall at @wayve_ai on 16 April... Lets get Britmaxxing 🚀 🇬🇧

Exciting to see how far the industry has come since we gave our first end-to-end AI driving demo a decade ago. But what matters now is scaled deployment. Every day this week we are releasing a new hour long video of zero shot driving all around the world 🌏 To start #1 this video is in San Jose, California. We're here for NVIDIA GTC and offering demo drives all week through the city and surrounding freeways. Book a ride here: wayve.ai/nvidiagtc2026/ This week we're also unveiling more details about our @NissanMotor Leaf robotaxi we're building on @NVIDIADRIVE Hyperion platform. We'll launch supervised trials in Tokyo with @Uber later this year. wayve.ai/press/wayve-ni… It has already been a busy week - today I was live on the main stream right before Jensen's keynote. Join me tomorrow for my keynote at 9am PT in person or live streamed here: 📢 nvidia.com/gtc/session-ca…

“Autonomy for everyone, everywhere. Wayve will deploy in 100 cities, not one.” That was literally the opening line of our first investor deck. You can read it in my new blog below. When we started @wayve_ai in 2017, few thought this would ever be possible. After securing $1.5 billion in new capital last week, it feels within reach. A contrarian approach has always been part of Wayve’s DNA. From day one, we chose to face the hardest problems head-on. We focused on teaching an AI system to make safe decisions in the open world without relying on expensive hardware and rule-based systems. We pioneered end-to-end learning when it was widely dismissed. We prioritised generalization over optimisation in a single domain. We started in dense urban environments like London. Why? Because it forced us to be novel, ambitious, and persistent - traits that are guiding principles of Wayve to this day. These technical decisions have now enabled us to take a contrarian approach to our business model. It is one that is vehicle-agnostic, built for scale. Importantly, it is one that means our total addressable market is different by orders of magnitude to those who choose to tie autonomy to their own cars or robotaxi fleets. This latest funding is a huge validation of our contrarian approach, with major investors, global automakers and technology partners backing deployment of our AI driver and acceleration towards our next phase of firsts: 🥇 to integrate autonomy into OEM production vehicles without retrofitting hardware 🥇 to deploy autonomy with multiple global OEM partners at the same time 🥇 to generalise autonomy across different sensor and computing architectures 🥇 to deploy robotaxi services in multiple countries 🥇 to deploy autonomy in 100 cities These firsts shape Wayve’s vision for the next decade. Autonomy for any vehicle, anywhere. Read more in my new blog: wayve.ai/thinking/the-p…
