Nissan and Wayve partnership aim for Japan with artificially intelligent driverless technology
Wayve, a leading UK-based artificial intelligence and autonomous driving startup, has announced its entry into the Japanese market. The expansion was announced at Nissan's test center in Yokohama, marking a significant milestone for the company.
Wayve's system, which is hardware agnostic, stands out due to its ability to collect a vast amount of data. This competitive edge is backed by some of the tech industry's heavyweights, including Nvidia, Microsoft, SoftBank Group, and Uber.
Alex Kendall, Wayve's CEO, stated that their platform can provide safer and more reliable driving performance. He also highlighted the challenges the automotive industry globally has been facing in building the right software.
In a move that marks its first supply contract with a mainstream automaker, Wayve has agreed to use its AI-powered software for Nissan's automated driving features. The ProPilot system, due for consumers within two years, will be enhanced with Wayve's technology.
This partnership is for building the next generation of Nissan's ProPilot driver-assistance system. Wayve's recent launch of a self-driving pilot in Stuttgart, Germany, hints at the company's global ambitions. The company's expansion plans include the U.S., U.K., Germany, Japan, and potentially other markets.
The announcement comes as Wayve continues to make strides in the autonomous driving sector. With its hardware-agnostic system and backing from industry giants, Wayve is poised to make a significant impact in the future of autonomous driving.
