Wayve Pushes Licensing Model in Robotaxi Race as London Service Begins

Wayve is moving from research into commercialization with a robotaxi strategy built around licensing its AI Driver software rather than building cars or operating its own fleet. The London-based company has begun supervised autonomous rides with Uber in the UK capital and is positioning its end-to-end, mapless driving system as a third path between Waymo's fleet ownership and Tesla's vehicle-led approach.
