Wayve Secures $60 Million From AMD, Arm and Qualcomm Ventures to Advance Its AI Driver

The strategic cash deepens ties with chipmakers to speed cross‑platform deployment.

Overview

  • Wayve, which raised $60 million Wednesday from AMD, Arm and Qualcomm Ventures, extended its Series D and has now attracted about $1.5 billion.
  • The company said the funds will support integration of its AI Driver across different automotive compute platforms and joint go‑to‑market work with carmakers.
  • Its software uses an end‑to‑end neural network trained on real driving data, enabling point‑to‑point driving without high‑definition maps and on chips already in vehicles.
  • A partnership announced in March 2026 will deliver a pre‑integrated AI Driver on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride using Wayve’s Active Safety software.
  • Wayve lists Nissan, Mercedes‑Benz and Stellantis as customers, with Nissan targeting 2027 for driver‑assist integration, and it is testing in the U.K., Germany, Japan and the U.S.
