Wayve, a driverless car start-up, has secured a staggering $1 billion investment from tech giants SoftBank, Nvidia, and Microsoft, aiming to accelerate the commercialization of its products. Founded by 31-year-old CEO Alex Kendall in 2017, Wayve initially took root in a humble garage in Cambridge.
Kendall’s visionary leadership has propelled Wayve into the spotlight, with his stake in the company estimated at £420 million, solidifying his status among the UK’s top tech founders. His ambition to revolutionize autonomous mobility through embodied intelligence has garnered recognition, stemming from his groundbreaking research at the University of Cambridge.
With a focus on deploying AV2.0 globally, Kendall collaborates closely with partners and investors to drive commercial viability and widespread adoption. His expertise in computer vision and AI, honed through years of research and prestigious accolades, positions Wayve as a frontrunner in the autonomous vehicle industry.
