Wayve’s AI Driver Is Now Steering Real Uber Rides in London — Here’s What It Actually Does
Wayve, the London-based AI company backed by Microsoft, Nvidia and Uber at an $8.6 billion valuation, has put its "AI Driver" behind the wheel of real, paying Uber rides in London — a global first for the company. The tech skips HD maps and hand-coded rules in favour of a neural network trained on raw driving footage, but early demo runs show it still leans on human safety drivers for the unpredictable stuff. Verdict: genuinely impressive engineering, still years away from anything close to Indian roads.
