Critical Dependencies
Wayve is a UK-based autonomous driving company building an embodied-AI foundation-model approach to self-driving software, rather than relying on hand-coded rules or HD maps, with its technology accelerated by NVIDIA hardware since 2018. NVIDIA participated in Wayve's $1.05 billion Series C (led by SoftBank) and its subsequent $1.2 billion Series D, which valued the company at roughly $8.6 billion with participation from Microsoft, Uber, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Stellantis; in February 2026 NVIDIA and Wayve signed a letter of intent to evaluate a further $500 million direct strategic investment in Wayve's next funding round.
