This integration will start at the lower end of the autonomy spectrum and slowly ramp up to level 4 self-driving cars.<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles in this category are so capable of driving themselves they technically need no driver at all. However, there are often geographical restrictions on where this self-driving tech can be used, so drivers are still needed. Level 4 vehicles are often also have their top-speeds limited, and can only driver faster under the control of a human.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWayve is building a \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> purpose\u2019 driving Al that can power all levels of driving automation in any type of vehicle, anywhere in the world,\u201d said Alex Kendall, co-founder and CEO of Wayve.<\/p>\n<p>Wayve will equip existing vehicles with Level 2+ advanced driver assistance and then Level 3 and 4 automated driving capabilities. Uber eventually intends to launch self-driving vehicles on its app equipped with Wayve\u2019s tech.
