In addition, Uber agreed to make an investment into Wayve as an extension of its series C funding round.
Wayve is developing mapless and hardware-agnostic Embodied AI products for automakers and fleet owners.
Alex Kendall, Co-founder and CEO of Wayve, commented: “Wayve is building a ‘general purpose’ driving Al that can power all levels of driving automation in any type of vehicle, anywhere in the world."
He continued; "I’m excited to be teaming up with Uber, the largest mobility network in the world, to massively ramp up our AI’s fleet learning, ensuring our AV technology is safe and ready for global deployment across Uber’s network. Together, we’re excited to work with Automotive OEMs to bring autonomous driving technologies to consumers sooner.”
