Wayve

Embodied-AI self-driving software that learns to drive without HD maps.

Proof of life. Raised a $1.05B Series C led by SoftBank (May 2024); site announces further scaling and a 2026 Uber/Nissan Tokyo robotaxi plan.

Wayve builds a general-purpose, mapless driving intelligence (the Wayve AI Driver) that is hardware-agnostic and learns from data rather than hand-coded rules. It licenses this software to automakers and mobility partners for assisted and autonomous driving across many vehicle types and geographies.
