Mercedes, Wayve partner up on autonomous driving

Mercedes-Benz and UK startup Wayve have signed an agreement to integrate Wayve’s autonomous driving system into future Mercedes vehicles, starting within the next two years, according to a Sept. 22 report from Berlin. The partnership involves bringing Wayve’s technology into Mercedes’s upcoming lineup rather than placing it as a standalone project. The companies did not outline specific vehicle models or the scope of features to be included in the announcement. Wayve’s system will be incorporated over time, with the initial rollout targeted for the next two-year window following the agreement’s signing.
