Wayve recently launched GAIA-2, its latest video-generating world model. A significant upgrade from its predecessor, GAIA-1, this groundbreaking technology generates highly diverse and controllable driving scenario videos to greatly enhance the safety of assisted and autonomous driving systems. The release of GAIA-2 marks a significant step forward for Wayve in leveraging generative AI to enable safer and smarter transportation. GAIA-2 offers a substantial improvement in scene diversity compared to GAIA-1.

The globally renowned ride-hailing platform Uber has announced a collaboration with the UK-based artificial intelligence company Wayve to jointly develop vehicles equipped with Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, with plans for deployment in multiple markets worldwide. This partnership serves as a strategic investment by Uber to supplement Wayve's Series C funding, as its technology will be integrated into Uber's autonomous vehicle fleet, accelerating collaborations with global automotive manufacturers. Wayve's Embodied AI technology enables vehicles to operate outside pre-mapped areas within geofenced regions and has launched the largest initiative in Europe in London.

UK startup Wayve released GAIA-1 in June 2023, a generative AI model designed for training data for autonomous vehicles. GAIA-1 uses text, images, videos, and action data to generate synthetic videos of various traffic scenarios, filling a data gap in autonomous driving training. The model now boasts 9 billion parameters and can efficiently generate high-resolution videos, making it a powerful tool for the training and validation of autonomous driving systems. Wayve is also developing Lingo-1, a combination of machine vision.
