There's a unique collaboration planned by Stellantis, and it's great news for people who want to enjoy the freedom of hands-free and supervised driving. High-tech models are now capable of navigating long stretches of highway and even some urban areas with technologies like Wayve's self-driving software. The new technology is expected to be available in North America by 2028.
Stellantis Plans to Integrate Wayve's Self-Driving Software
Stellantis owns many North American auto brands, including Jeep and Chrysler. Soon, these brands will have access to Wayve's self-driving software. It's a collaboration made in heaven, with Stellantis brands providing the automotive performance we've all come to expect, and Wayve's AI software delivering a more automated way to get where you're going.
Ned Curic, Stellantis' Chief Engineering and Technology Officer, took time out to comment about the collaboration. "At Stellantis, we focus on technology that fundamentally transforms how our customers interact with their vehicles. Combining our STLA AutoDrive platform with Wayve's groundbreaking AI-first approach creates a genuinely intuitive and enjoyable hands-free driving experience."
Wayve, a U.K.-based startup, agrees that this partnership will pay off big for its customers. The CEO and co-founder of Wayve, Alex Kendall, says, "This agreement marks an important step for Wayve and Stellantis in scaling our technology together. By combining Wayve's AI with Stellantis' engineering expertise, scale, and global reach, we're accelerating our mission to bring autonomy to any vehicle, anywhere."
There's a third player in this partnership, though, and that's the everyday driver who craves a self-driving vehicle. That's you, the person who will benefit from all this hard work and technology by these two companies. It will be a while before we see Wayve in action alongside Stellantis models, but we'll be looking forward to it every step of the way.

If you want a self-driving vehicle, Stellantis brands are the right place to shop in the next few years. You'll find intelligent, durable cars, trucks, and SUVs that are ready to give you more of a sightseeing experience behind the wheel. And while actively driving is always fun, sometimes it's nice to sit back and enjoy the scenic route.
