Nvidia bets on robotaxi company Wayve

 After its massive $100 billion investment in OpenAI that goes after Google's Gemini and Elon Musk's Grok, Nvidia is gunning for the nascent robotaxi industry as well.

A new $500 million investment in what Nvidia's Jensen Huang called "the next trillion-dollar company" when he rode in an autonomous vehicle powered by its software aims to encroach on Tesla's Robotaxi service turf. The British firm Wayve had already received $1 billion strong round of investment by Nvidia, Uber, and SoftBank, and now Huang wants to expand his share by another half a billion.

Wayve has developed a turnkey autonomous driving solution that can be used by any vehicle as its AI-powered system very much resembles Tesla's FSD as an end-to-end neural network that learns by examining massive amounts of camera vision data, instead of relying on rigid algorithms and HD maps.

Huang was reportedly so impressed with what Wayve has done with Nvidia's tailored self-driving AI hardware that he congratulated the team with the "next trillion-dollar company, you guys" praise after a ride around downtown London.
