Wayve’s end-to-end driving AI is now running in Nissan Ariya electric vehicles in Tokyo, marking a pragmatic step toward consumer deployment in 2027. The test vehicles combine a camera-first approach with radar and a lidar unit for redundancy, aligning with Japan’s dense urban environment and complex traffic patterns. The initial commercial target is “eyes on, hands off” Level 2 driver assistance, with drivers remaining responsible and ready to take over. Nvidia has signed a letter of intent for a potential $500 million investment in Wayve’s next funding round, reinforcing the compute-intensive nature of the program.

5G in Automotive: Safer, Smarter Mobility

Automotive digitization now hinges on 5G’s ability to deliver reliable, low-latency, and scalable connectivity that 4G/LTE cannot sustain for safety-critical use cases. Advanced driver assistance, cooperative perception, and remote operations require millisecond-class response and deterministic reliability across dense traffic conditions. 5G Standalone (SA) with Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), improved positioning, and enhanced uplink meets these thresholds, enabling vehicles and infrastructure to exchange time-sensitive data continuously. This is the foundation for C-V2X, high-fidelity telematics, and closed-loop control that 4G/LTE struggles to support consistently. 5G enables dynamic traffic orchestration, energy-aware routing for EVs, and advanced safety services that can reduce incidents and congestion.
