Since Wayve's inception, the company has led embodied AI innovation, boldly pioneering the once-contrarian concept of end-to-end (e2e) AI for the physical world. After years of extensive research and development, Wayve was the first company to apply Embodied AI to develop and test an e2e deep learning autonomous driving system on public roads. Since Eclipse led the company’s Series A in 2019 and Series B in 2022, Wayve has built the foundation models for autonomy, similar to ‘GPT for driving,’ that can empower any vehicle to see, think, and drive through any environment. Today, the team has taken another step towards its mission to reimagine autonomous mobility through embodied intelligence with its $1.05B Series C led by SoftBank Group Corp., with participation from new investor NVIDIA and existing investor Microsoft to propel its mission forward. Eclipse Partner Seth Winterroth shares more on this incredible milestone and how the Wayve team’s commitment to challenging the status quo will make a meaningful, long-lasting impact on the world:  https://bit.ly/4ds8Lgh Congratulations Alex Kendall and the entire Wayve team!

Exciting news in the autonomous driving sector! UK startup Wayve secures $1.05bn in Series C funding led by SoftBank, with support from Nvidia and Microsoft. Their innovative AI model could shape the future of AVs. Stay tuned for more updates! #AutonomousDriving #AI #MobilitySpace

🚗 The Future is Autonomous! 🚗 I recently conducted a comparative analysis of the U.S. market to highlight the impressive growth in the autonomous driving industry—visualized using Matplotlib. The importance of this technology is underscored by the substantial investments made in 2024 alone. According to the paper by Ricco Kämpfer (Team Lead Autonomous Driving Market & Strategy at P3), competition among companies in this space has reached unprecedented levels in recent years. Currently, Waymo leads the race, setting the pace for innovation and progress. As the industry evolves, it’s clear that autonomous driving will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of mobility.
