Wayve.ai develops self-driving technology known as AV2.0, which focuses on creating smarter and safer autonomous vehicles. Their technology uses embodied AI software that allows vehicles to learn from their experiences and adapt to different environments without needing detailed programming. This method is different from traditional self-driving technologies that often rely on expensive hardware and pre-mapped environments. Instead, Wayve.ai employs end-to-end deep learning, making their solution more cost-effective for automakers. The company targets automakers and fleet operators, providing them with adaptable and affordable solutions for driving automation. Their goal is to enable widespread adoption of autonomous driving technology, as demonstrated by partnerships with major retailers like Ocado Group and Asda to test their technology in delivery fleets.
