Drove autonomously from our HQ in King's Cross to
No10 today with no intervention from our safety driver, safely navigating busy rush hour traffic! Great to meet @Keir_Starmer and looking forward to working with the new Government on bringing benefits of self-driving to the UK!
Fantastic to visit @wayve_ai today, which has just secured the biggest investment in a UK AI company ever.
This is a huge vote of confidence in the UK as an AI superpower, and shows that our plan for the economy is working.
We’ve got some exciting news to share 🚨
We are thrilled to announce that we’ve raised $1.05bn in our latest fundraising round led by @SoftBank_Group with contributions from @nvidia and @Microsoft.
This milestone will propel us in developing and launching our first Embodied AI products for automotive 🚗🚗
We are extremely grateful for our incredible team, supportive investors and partners who believe in our vision 🙏
The AI-driven transformation in automotive is now!

We are establishing a third office in Vancouver - in addition to our London and Mountain View locations. This will be an AI hub to accelerate our cutting edge research in Embodied AI.
This office will be led by @Jamie_Shotton, our Chief Scientist who will be relocating, and we also welcome @YasutakaFuruka1. We're delighted to be investing in growth, if you're interested in opportunities in Embodied AI in Vancouver please reach out! https://t.co/MEG8Ox84FF
Some fun facts about Vancouver:
* Population of 3 million and ranked 5th most livable city
* Two world-class universities (University of British Columbia , Simon Fraser University)
* Strong big tech presence and thriving startup scene in AI and robotics
* Regularly hosts major international conferences (CVPR 2023, NeurIPS 2024, SIGGRAPH 2022, …)
* Strong international hub with direct flights and favourable immigration policies
* Elevation range of 0-2000m with amazing access to beautiful wilderness (I've loved times I've visited exploring nearby mountains like Revelstoke!)
We can't wait to contribute to Canada’s vibrant AI ecosystem!

The Automated Vehicles Bill will:
🚘 Ensure safety is at the heart of self-driving tech
🇬🇧 Put the UK at the forefront of this growing industry
Transport Secretary @Mark_J_Harper took a ride in a self-driving vehicle with the CEO of @Wayve_ai to see the technology in action.
Awesome to see @RishiSunak celebrate the work we're doing at @wayve_ai as a great example of UK innovation in his big AI speech.
Exciting week with the UK Govt hosting the global AI Safety Summit this week!
Our work on LINGO got featured in TLDR newsletter! They are not paying me, I'm not paying them, but it's the single newsletter I read https://t.co/AhtskWjWIk.
and check out the State of AI report https://t.co/iSUrhNrOp8 we are on the 43th slide!

Language is the future for how we interact with robots.
Today @wayve_ai is sharing a first look at LINGO-1, a new vision-language-action AI model. To give you a glimpse of its capabilities, here is a video of me playing with LINGO-1 yesterday morning.
🗣Language is a powerful tool. By equipping our #EmbodiedAI with the reasoning capabilities of #LLM we can enhance the learning and explainability of our #AI models and break new ground for AI safety and public trust in self-driving systems.

I recently had the chance to test drive—or test ride, I guess—one of @wayve_ai’s autonomous vehicles. It was a pretty wild ride: https://t.co/PrwrxU49dd
Before you deploy a fully driverless vehicle on the road, you need to put it through the most challenging of driving tests. How do we do that safely? Introducing the Wayve Infinity Simulator > https://t.co/5uppQoR256
Так, так это сюда, так а это что за хуйня? Блядь что за еблан это писал? Этот пидор еще работает в компании? Блядь я ему ебло на корпоративе разобью, мне никто слова не скажет, даже похвалят. Так git blame. Ой, это же мой старый проект. Поставил задачу на рефакторинг.
It's the International Computer Vision Summer School 2022 this week. As well as catching Wayve's Chief Scientist @JamieDJS's talk, keep an eye out for Pragya, Hudson, Anthony and Jan at Wayve's booth. #ICVSS2022
