Wayve

Wayve builds end-to-end AI driving models trained on real-world driving data rather than hand-coded rules, licensed to automakers including Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Stellantis. It began UK public-road testing and struck OEM deployment deals through 2025-2026, and published its GAIA generative world-model research from 2023.
