Wayve, a self-driving technology company, has announced a $1.05 billion Series C funding round, with investments from SoftBank, Uber, and NVIDIA. CEO Alex Kendall highlighted the company's innovative approach to autonomous driving, which relies on an AI-first model that operates on a single GPU, distinguishing it from competitors like Waymo and Tesla. The discussions surrounding Wayve also touched on the broader implications of Norway's wealth tax on startups, as Dune CEO Fredrik Haga noted that the tax on unrealized gains is prompting many founders to relocate due to its financial burdens. Additionally, various episodes from the Boring Sage podcast explored the advancements in autonomous delivery systems by companies such as Nuro and Tesla, as well as the evolution of Waymo's driverless car service, emphasizing the challenges and limitations faced by current technologies.
