Let's put aside the Tesla vs. Waymo debate and talk about Wayve. The UK-based startup, founded in 2017, is yet another company that has autonomous-driving technology ambitions, but it's not building a robotaxi platform like Waymo. Nor is it a car or robotics manufacturer like Tesla. Wayve's goal is to develop a highly capable Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that it can license to other automakers. Think a flexible version of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) that can be plugged into any automaker's cars.
The AI driver's end-to-end model enables adaptability to London's complex driving environment, which is crucial for navigating the city's chaotic streets effectively.
