This video showcases Wayve's groundbreaking Embodied AI technology.

Using only camera sensors and end-to-end deep learning, the AI demonstrates safe navigation through complex scenarios. It predicts and responds to multiple vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians without relying on HD maps or coded perception states.

The AI expertly manoeuvers through tight spaces, waiting for a Porsche and cyclists to pass, anticipating a Mercedes parking, and negotiating with workers and taxis - all while processing diverse environmental signals in real-time.
