Wayve

Wayve is a UK-based autonomous vehicle company that uses artificial intelligence to develop self-driving technology. The company's approach relies on end-to-end deep learning rather than hand-coded rules or high-definition maps, allowing its autonomous driving system to learn and adapt to new environments more flexibly.

Business problem

The key challenge in autonomous driving is to operate safely and efficiently in diverse, complex urban environments with changing conditions.

AI solution

Wayve developed LINGO-2, a closed-loop vision-language-action driving model that integrates natural language with autonomous driving capabilities. It generates real-time driving commentary while controlling a vehicle, linking vision, language, and action to explain its decision-making process and adapt its behavior based on linguistic instructions.

Implementation challenges

Understanding human instructions without ever violating appropriate limits of safe and responsible driving behavior in an ongoing challenge, more easily achieved in test-settings compared to the open road.

Results

The model provides instructions for stopping behind buses, driving in residential areas and determining weather conditions, integrating language with vision leads to more flexible behavior of the vehicle.
