Founded in 2017, we are pioneering deep learning and AI for the next generation of autonomous driving.
Wayve was born in Cambridge as a ‘contrarian’ start-up looking to pioneer a better way to build self-driving car technology using deep learning and AI advances. We received $2.5M in seed funding. Months later, we were the first team to use reinforcement learning to teach a car to lane follow with just 10 minutes of feedback.
Wayve is the first company to demonstrate an end-to-end learned driving system with complete vehicle control, powering a self-driving vehicle on UK public roads. We raised a $20M Series A and opened our HQ in London with a fleet of autonomous electric vehicles.
Wayve announces its first commercial partnerships with Ocado Group and Asda, two of the UK’s largest grocery retailers, to trial AV technology on last-mile urban delivery routes in London. We launch our first fleet data collection pilot program with DPD, the UK’s leading parcel delivery firm.
Wayve achieves another world’s first in AI for mobile robotics by developing a driving model that can generalise to different cities and different vehicle types. We also received $200M in funding, opened a second office in California and teamed up with Microsoft to scale deep learning for AVs.
