the world, bringing Wayve’s leading technology to Uber’s more than
150 million monthly global users.

building a 'general purpose' driving Al that can power all levels
of driving automation in any type of vehicle, anywhere in the
world. I’m excited to be teaming up with Uber, the largest mobility
network in the world, to massively ramp up our AI’s fleet learning,
ensuring our AV technology is safe and ready for global deployment
across Uber’s network. Together, we’re excited to work with
Automotive OEMs to bring autonomous driving technologies to
consumers sooner.”
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber: “Uber and Wayve share a
vision of reimagining mobility for the better. Wayve’s advanced
Embodied AI approach holds a ton of promise as we work towards a
world where modern vehicles are shared, electric and autonomous.
We’re thrilled to bring Wayve on as a partner to work alongside
automakers as we continue to build out Uber as the best network for
self-driving vehicles.”
