CoreWeave will provide cloud computing capacity to Wayve under a multiyear agreement, giving the autonomous-driving developer infrastructure to train and evaluate models for its AI Driver.
CoreWeave announced the agreement Nov. 9. Wayve will use NVIDIA Blackwell processors through CoreWeave Cloud for foundation-model training. The platform will also support evaluation and simulation as Wayve develops the system for commercial use.
CoreWeave said lengthy training runs and safety evaluations are driving the need for cloud capacity. It said Wayve's system learns from driving data collected in more than 70 countries.
Wayve Senior Vice President of Engineering Silvius Rus said the company deploys only models that outperform those already on the road.
The agreement follows other steps toward commercial use of Wayve's technology. Wayve and Uber launched supervised autonomous rides in London on Sept. 3. Wayve and Mercedes-Benz announced a production agreement Sept. 22 to bring the AI Driver to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The companies plan to begin offering driving-assistance features within two years of that announcement.
