<p>London, a city of narrow, winding streets and omnipresent cyclists, is a famously difficult place to drive. That helps explain why Bill Gates went viral in 2023 when he posted a video of himself touring the city in a self-driving car, powered by Wayve. The autonomous-driving field is crowded, but Wayve’s platform stands out in two notable ways: It can run on just one GPU chip, and it uses an LLM to communicate with drivers about why it’s doing what it’s doing at any given moment. Microsoft and Uber are backers, and SoftBank and Nvidia took part in a $1.1&nbsp;billion funding round in May—the largest to date by a Europe-based AI company.
