Wayve Issues Technical Report On The First Generative World Model Designed For Self-driving Systems

Wayve, a leading developer of AI-powered self-driving technology, has released a technical report detailing its generative world model, GAIA-1 (Generative AI for Autonomy). GAIA-1 is the first generative world model designed specifically for self-driving systems and was trained on approximately 4,700 hours from Wayve’s corpus of UK driving data. It leverages video, text and action inputs to generate realistic driving scenarios while offering fine-grained control over ego-vehicle behaviour and scene features. GAIA-1 combines the advantages of predictive capabilities of world models with the scalability and realism of state-of-the-art generative AI techniques, creating simulated driving videos that closely mirror real-world conditions.
