Uber, Nissan, and Mercedes Chose This Self-Driving Startup | Alex Kendall, Wayve

"Every vehicle is capable of driverless operation. That's clearly the steady state of where we're going."

Wayve started in a rented house in Cambridge with $1.5M, a car in the garage, and an aim to integrate end-to-end AI into driving. A decade later it's driven across 506 cities without a single HD map and is worth over $8.6 billion.

In this episode, CEO Alex Kendall joins Lukas Biewald to talk about how he built the AI driver Uber, Nvidia, Mercedes, and Nissan all backed, and why putting self-driving AI into 100 million cars a year is a far bigger bet than 10,000 robotaxis.

Waymo and Tesla both come up. He doesn't shy away.
