Wayve's autonomous driving technology will arrive in Stellantis vehicles by 2028, marking a major deployment of the UK startup's AI-powered driving system in US cars.

Wayve, a London-based self-driving company, has secured a deal to integrate its autonomous technology into Stellantis' North American vehicle lineup. The partnership will bring Wayve's AI-trained driving system to mainstream production vehicles within three years. Stellantis, formed from the 2021 merger of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group, operates brands including Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, and Dodge across the US market. The deployment represents a significant commercial validation for Wayve's approach to autonomous driving, which relies on machine learning rather than high-definition maps. Wayve has raised substantial funding from investors including SoftBank and others backing its technology development. This partnership reflects growing investment in autonomous vehicle systems among traditional automakers seeking to integrate advanced driving capabilities into their fleets.
