Nvidia Eyes $500M Investment in UK’s Wayve to Bolster Autonomous Driving Tech

Nvidia is nearing a $500 million investment in Wayve, a British autonomous driving technology firm, signaling continued confidence in AI-driven mobility solutions. The deal follows a UK-US technology pact aimed at strengthening collaboration in artificial intelligence and related fields.

Wayve's machine learning approach diverges from traditional systems, relying on camera sensors and traffic pattern analysis rather than pre-programmed maps. The company's upcoming Gen 3 platform will run on Nvidia's DRIVE AGX Thor chips, deepening the technological partnership between the two firms.

This potential investment builds on existing relationships—Nvidia participated in Wayve's $1 billion funding round last year alongside SoftBank. The MOVE underscores how semiconductor giants are positioning themselves at the intersection of AI and next-generation transportation infrastructure.
