Wayve Partners with Uber for Self-Driving Cars
Uber has formed a strategic partnership with Wayve, a London-based startup specializing in 'Embodied AI' for autonomous vehicles, alongside investing in its Series C funding round. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development of advanced driver-assistance systems (Level 2+) and Level 3 automated driving capabilities, with an eye toward creating scalable Level 4 autonomous vehicles for Uber’s platform. Unlike traditional mapping methods, Wayve utilizes a mapless AI approach, allowing vehicles to operate without geographical limitations, potentially enhancing Uber's service across multiple global markets. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized the shared vision of transforming mobility through this partnership, which could serve over 150 million Uber users worldwide. This move complements Uber's ongoing efforts in the autonomous vehicle sector, having previously partnered with Waymo and Cruise. The financial details of the investment have not been disclosed but are part of Wayve's broader funding strategy.
