Nvidia and Wayve announced on September 19, 2025, the signing of a letter of intent for a strategic investment from Nvidia of approximately $500 million. Wayve is a British startup and a pioneer in "Embodied AI" for autonomous driving. Their approach differs from competitors in that the system learns to drive by analyzing vast amounts of real-world video data, similar to a human, rather than relying on HD maps and hard-coded rules. This method requires enormous computational power for training, which Nvidia provides. This investment is not just a financial injection but a deepening of their technological partnership. Nvidia gains a stake in one of the most promising companies in the sector, while Wayve secures access to the cutting-edge hardware and resources needed to scale its unique technology.
