British startup Wayve has begun testing self-driving cars with Nissan in Japan ahead of a 2027 launch to consumers, as the company said it was in talks for a $500m investment from the chip-maker Nvidia.
Wayve, based in London, said it had installed its self-driving technology on Nissan’s electric Ariya vehicles and tested them on Tokyo’s streets, after first agreeing a deal with the Japanese carmaker in April.
