British Road raised 1B of dollars in Europe's largest AI financing
SoftBank leader NVIDIA and Microsoft's investment
Wayve is a startup company in London. It has raised $ 100 million for autonomous vehicles on the AI system. The huge fund trip is the largest single investment in European AI startups.
Japanese corporate Group SoftBank and Technical Giants NVIDIA and Microsoft led the financing. Wayve did not disclose its valuation after investing.
Wayve was established in Cambridge in 2017 and is developing SO called autonomous car AI system. Like pure software, AI reflects the brain of physical objects such as vehicles. It allows them to see, thinking and driving. This technology is also suitable for robots or any other mobile objects.
Alex Kendall, the co -founder and CEO of Wayve, said: "The manifestation of AI will solve the long -term challenge facing the industry and face everyone in various places."
Wayve's autonomous driving method is similar to Tesla's method. However, unlike Elon Musk's company, Wayve sold its technology directly to car manufacturers. This means that you can access top -level autonomous driving technology without buying Tesla.
Study car
Since 2018, Wayve has trained its AI system on the road of Britain. The company is suitable for ordinary cars, including a series of cameras and sensors to explain the surrounding environment. The more data collected by the car, the danger of learning driving and responding to driving and response.
In the future, the company plans to make the vehicle not only drive you for you. They want to provide other functions, such as language response interfaces, personalized driving style and common training.
Kentaro Matsui, executive partner of SoftBank Investment Consultant, said: "Vehicles can now explain the surrounding environment like humans, thereby enhancing the expected decision -making Board of Directors.
"The potential of this technology is variable; Masu said:" It can eliminate 99 % of traffic accidents. "
Despite major progress, autonomous driving seems to be one of the five -year technology of technology.
As we all know, it is complicated to allow self -driving cars to drive safely and facing strict adjustments. The withdrawal of many involved in large -scale participants such as Apple, which causes eye -catching accidents, reflected the challenging situation of the downturn of capital investment in autonomous vehicles.
The victory of European technology
In view of this situation, this makes WeFF's huge funds more impressive, especially for European startups.
Wayve's early investor Suranga Chandratilla was a partner of Baldrton and told TNW via email.
"The embodiment of artificial intelligence will be the next important boundary of artificial intelligence -cultivating machine intelligence into the physical world around us, not just a computer screen with a limited language model."
NVIDIA's graphics processing unit (GPU) will provide computing power for Wayve's autonomous driving technology. Existing investors Microsoft said it will continue to support the company through its super computing and AI "professional knowledge".
Wayve's CEO Kendall said the investment will enable startups to convert its prototype into a sellable product. He said the company is talking to several large car partners to provide the technology provided in the car for ordinary consumers to buy. However, Wayve has not been named, so we are still in darkness.
