At Wayve, we’re building a global driving intelligence that learns from data and scales across different vehicles and geographies.
Founded in 2017, we have pioneered an end-to-end AI approach to autonomous driving that is faster to deploy, more flexible by design and built to scale.
We deliver all levels of autonomy, from hands-off and eyes-off driving, to robotaxis. We license and integrate the Wayve AI Driver as a vehicle-agnostic software platform that runs entirely on onboard vehicle compute and native sensors.
Wayve is the first and only AV company to test a single global AI Driver model across more than 500 cities in Europe, North America and Japan.
We’re building autonomy for anyone, in any vehicle, anywhere.
