Wayve raised $1.2 billion at an $8.6 billion valuation last month to roll out a robotaxi service in London.
Hooking up with Qualcomm provides a pre-integrated HW/SW ADAS capability which can be fitted to any vehicle with the prospect of an upgrade to Level 5 being achieved later on.
Alex Kendall, co‑founder and CEO at Wayve, said: “Wayve AI Driver is designed as a flexible, vehicle-agnostic software that serves as the intelligence layer for autonomy for any vehicle, anywhere.”
“Our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies provides global automakers building on Snapdragon Ride with a streamlined path to deploy market-leading, end-to-end AI automated driving capability alongside Qualcomm’s Active Safety stack.
“By combining our embodied AI driving intelligence with Qualcomm Technologies’ compute performance, platform maturity and global scale, we are expanding choice and delivering immediate value to automakers across ADAS and automated driving systems, with natural progression from hands-off to eyes-off operation.”
