#wayve — Public Fediverse posts

"..emotions bubbled over at a session of the cross-party committee hearing on Wednesday (June 24), with individuals believed to be from the sector launching a number of furious tirades at representatives from Wayve and Waymo, firms that are both testing autonomous vehicles in London."

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has confirmed it does not hold information on the reporting of safety incidents, near misses, or system failures by #autonomous vehicle operators such as #Waymo, #Uber, and #Wayve, nor on the start dates of their 2026 autonomous ride-hailing trials. Reporting requirements fall under the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 and the Automated Vehicles Act 2024, which govern vehicle authorisation for self-driving operation. The upcoming Automated Passenger Services permitting scheme, not yet in force, will allow the DVSA, with TfL consent, to issue permits for autonomous passenger services in London.

Nissan will integrate artificial-intelligence-powered systems made by autonomous driving firm Wayve into vehicles, the companies have announced. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/10/companies/nissan-ai-wave/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nissan #wayve #ai

#Waymo plans to launch a fully driverless #robotaxi service in #London in 2026, marking its first international expansion. The company will start deploying supervised robotaxis for data collection soon and will use Moove for vehicle maintenance. Waymo will face competition from #Uber and #Wayve, which is testing driverless cars in London. https://www.theverge.com/news/799259/waymo-london-robotaxi-launch-2026?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Nvidia's throwing half a billion dollars at self-driving startup Wayve. Jensen Huang even braved Central London traffic in one.

Is this the fast lane to an autonomous future, or just another pit stop on the hype highway? What's your biggest concern about fully self-driving cars?

Wayve x Uber: Robotaxis Face Reality

Wayve and Uber are launching autonomous vehicles in London by 2026. If their adaptive AI can handle the city’s chaos, it could finally prove robotaxis are ready. If not, it’s another overhyped flop.

#Wayve AI Self-Driving System Is Here to Drive Like a Human and Take On #Waymo

Waymo currently employs a hybrid system, which combines AI elements (which have been trained on labeled data), high-definition maps, and hand-coded instructions.

Kendall's “end-to-end” AI approach has a single neural network handling the entire process. This means that Wayve's AI operates without high-definition maps or coded interventions, and learns unsupervised from unlabeled data.

#AI is really grim right now, with people who theoretically should be experts buying their own hype. Look at this system:

https://wayve.ai/thinking/lingo-natural-language-autonomous-driving/

Now recall one of the most basic principles of #LLMs: they always tell you only what they think you want to hear. So is the LLM really explaining the car's reasoning here? Nope. Based on the cars plan, it's saying how it thinks an expert driver would most likely describe the actions in that plan. The idea that thru can use this for debugging the planning part of the AI is scary. Because exactly in those situations that are out of the norm, it will be most likely to give an explanation that's unrelated to the actual way the decision was made.

There is research on making large models more explainable, but this is a self-defeating end-run around that work. And if I can see that as someone who's barely touched LLMs, the fact that the researchers at #wayve can't or won't is really disturbing. Especially in the face of their own self-reported accuracy being 60%.

Sure, I expect the public to buy into the #AIHype, but when experienced machine learning professionals are doing it, that's grim.
