Japan
Asia is home to some of the world’s most influential automotive players, fastest-growing urban centers, and most forward-thinking approaches to mobility and automation. Within that, Japan stands out as a global leader in engineering precision. For Wayve, expanding into Asia—starting with Japan—is a natural evolution of our global strategy to build a generalizable, adaptable, and scalable AI Driver that works in any environment.
Japan
Tokyo to Mt. Fuji
This video captures the final chapter of our Global Roadshow: Japan, where our single global model adapted to complex urban streets and mountain passes. As we take this journey, you can see how each kilometre strengthens the AI Driver’s ability to generalize safely and scalably. The Wayve AI Driver completed a global roadshow across 506 cities in 2025. You can read the full blog here.

Navigating busy Japanese cities.
Experience our AI Driver navigating the tight backstreets, complex junctions, and fast-paced arterial roads of Tokyo—one of the most demanding urban driving environments in the world. With no HD maps or hand-coded logic, our AI adapts in real time to unfamiliar conditions, dense traffic, and unpredictable human behavior—just like an experienced local driver would.
