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 partners with automakers and fleet operators to provide adaptable and affordable autonomous driving solutions, aiming to enhance driving automation at scale. Their goal is to transform mobility into a more sustainable and efficient system.
