End-to-End AI for Autonomy (w/ Alex Kendall of Wayve)
Alex Kendall, CEO of Wayve, discusses their $1 billion-funded end-to-end AI approach that enables self-driving systems to generalize globally, leverage synthetic data for safety, and adopt lean hardware to democratize autonomous technology for automakers
Alex Kendall, founder and CEO of Wayve, shares how Wayve's unique end-to-end AI approach allows their self-driving system to generalize across different countries and driving cultures—from London to California. The discussion explores how Wayve (which recently raised $1 billion from Softbank and others) combines vision, language, and action to create more intuitive human-AI interactions, why synthetic data matters for safety testing, and how their lean hardware strategy could make autonomous technology more accessible to automakers worldwide.
