☆ 29-year-old’s self-driving car startup was born in a garage—now it has Bill Gates’ attention and a $1 billion valuation

Since launching Wayve in 2017, CEO Alex Kendall has often felt like the self-driving car industry's mostly ignored little brother. In 2017, Kendall got a Ph.D. in deep learning and computer vision at the University of Cambridge. While there, he helped develop a deep learning algorithm for a computer vision concept called "semantic segregation." A delivery van outfitted with Wayve's autonomous driving software is part of the fleet of vehicles making grocery deliveries across London. When he and Kendall launched Wayve, "many of the big technology giants had just put billions of dollars of funding into building autonomous vehicles," Kendall says.

Ben Foxall is interested in how humans and tech work together. He began working for Wayve, a startup that's using AI to teach cars to drive. My team oversees the whole process of how self-driving cars work. Right now we're building commercial fleets of self-driving cars for urban areas to be able to take over the last-mile delivery of groceries. Self-driving cars are mind-bogglingly complex and incredible.
