The British self-driving technology startup Wayve closed a $1.2 billion funding round from a consortium including Nvidia, Uber, and three major automakers — backing its AI-first approach to robotaxi software. This positions Wayve as one of the year’s largest autonomous vehicle capital rounds and signals continued VC/strategic vehicle investment into foundational autonomy systems.
Investor signal: Deep commitments from chip (Nvidia), mobility (Uber), and OEM capital are anchoring AV startups as platform plays rather than niche pilots.
