New Level 2 Product Deal

The startup secured an agreement to place its software in at least one Mercedes-Benz model. This system handles specific driving maneuvers while requiring the human driver to stay engaged. The product represents a Level 2 classification rather than a fully driverless solution.

Previous Collaboration Announcements

Wayve previously locked in deals with Nissan and Stellantis to follow a similar strategy. Earlier this year the company also partnered with Nissan and Uber for a robotaxi service in Tokyo. These partnerships aim to open doors for future fully driverless products.
