Can robotaxis think more like humans?
How do you build an autonomous vehicle? Most self-driving car companies teach their models the rules of the road and pack cars with sophisticated sensors. But Wayve, a British startup, has a different approach. The company uses deep learning to train an “AI driver” for autonomous vehicles. In recent days, Wayve, in partnership with Uber, has been granted the first licences to operate robotaxis in London. Will their human-inspired cars finally transform city streets? We sit down with the company’s CEO, Alex Kendall, to find out.
TL;DR
- Wayve, a British startup, utilizes deep learning to train an "AI driver" for autonomous vehicles.
- This approach differs from traditional methods that focus on teaching rules of the road and using sophisticated sensors.
- Wayve, partnered with Uber, has received the first licenses to operate robotaxis in London.
