Investors include Nvidia, Uber, Microsoft, and automakers Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Stellantis. Wayve differentiates itself through an end-to-end deep learning approach that requires no HD maps and is sensor- and chip-agnostic, allowing it to license its 'embodied AI' software to OEMs and tech companies rather than operating its own fleet. Nissan plans to integrate Wayve's software into vehicles starting 2027, while Uber is launching commercial trials this year with plans to expand to 10+ global markets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
