About Wayve
Wayve builds end-to-end autonomous driving software—the vehicle-agnostic Wayve AI Driver—that runs on onboard compute and native sensors, licensed to automakers and fleet operators. Its platform spans ADAS and higher autonomy (L2+/L3 to robotaxi) and is designed to generalize across vehicle types and geographies. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, it tests its models across Europe, North America, and Japan, with a U.S. base in Sunnyvale, CA.
