Wayve
This is Wayve.
Wayve is a London start-up on a mission to reimagine autonomous mobility through embodied intelligence. We are the first to deploy autonomous vehicles on public roads using deep learning. We are pioneering the AI software, lean hardware and fleet learning platform for AV 2.0: a next generation autonomous driving system that can quickly and safely adapt to new driving domains anywhere in the world.
To reimagine a new approach, we knew we needed to rethink how to build a new kind of tech company. This meant that from our first day back in 2017, we were already focused on building a culture with intention and a world class team that would bring together people from all walks of life, align with our Values and want to change the world. This thesis continues to be our North Star and the only way we believe we will bring autonomy to everyone, everywhere.
We encourage you all to go through our culture deck so you can understand more about how to be successful at Wayve, whilst making Wayve a success.
Our Values
"Pave New Roads, Explore Unknown Horizons"
- Own and deliver
- Problem solve
- Have a high impact
- Be humble & autonomous
At Wayve we aren't afraid of doing things differently. We take calculated risks and embrace unknown territory. Failing can be seen as progress and a step in the right direction when we have learnt from our mistakes. Mistakes are ok as long as we don't make the same mistakes twice. We expect everyone to act like a maverick, be curious and have courage.
"Leave Positive Tracks"
- A mindset for Growth
- Encourages Team Health
- Transparent & open minded
- Proactive and vulnerable
A big reason for working on AV's is for the positive impacts they can have to the environment, the lives they will save, the opportunities they will create for other and more! Therefore it is vital that with every decision we make we need to consider the environment, people, impacts and make sure we are leaving everything with a positive impact. Our employees have a strong code of ethics and act with integrity and humility at all times.
"Autonomous in Thought, Collective in Action"
- Strong opinions but loosely held
- Unblocks each other
- Humble and Autonomous
We are built of strong, curious individuals coming from all walks of life, but who, together, want to achieve a common goal. Thinking independently, engaging in debates, - we have brought each person on board because they are smart and capable, so don't just agree with what is known. Push back, challenge, and then work together to accomplish it. Realise the impact that you have on the team, and that Wayve has on the world. Take responsibility for your actions, and always have a growth mindset.
"Drive Each Other Forward"
- Act as a domain knowledge expert
- We do what is right for the company
- Be Assertive
- Empowers People
We are a company that stands strong upon the foundation which it has created. This foundation is the team, the individuals who make Wayve, Wayve. Communicating well is the way that we will achieve strong, trustworthy teams. Communicate about what is going well, and what is going not so well. Ask for help, and know that your voice will be heard. Teach each other, and learn even more from each other. Together, we are Wayve.
