Autonomous Vehicles·Series C

Wayve is a London-based autonomous driving company pioneering an AI-first approach to self-driving vehicles. Rather than relying on detailed 3D maps and hand-coded rules, Wayve uses end-to-end deep learning so its AI driver learns directly from camera data and real-world driving experience. The company has partnered with major automakers and logistics firms to bring its technology to production vehicles. Backed by SoftBank, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Uber, Wayve closed a landmark $1.05B Series C in 2024, the largest ever AI funding round by a European company at the time, and has been in discussions for a potential $2B follow-on round.
