Reinforcement Learning
Wayve's GAIA-2 uses reinforcement learning and generative AI to simulate and train autonomous driving systems across varied urban environments.
This system helps self-driving cars learn how to drive by practicing in a highly realistic digital world that mimics real cities, making them safer and smarter without needing to be on the road.
GAIA-2 is like a virtual driving school that recreates any road or city for autonomous vehicles to practice in, so they’re road-ready without ever needing to leave the simulator.
Wayve’s GAIA-2 (Generative Active AI Agent) is a next-generation simulation platform designed to train autonomous driving systems using AI-native techniques. The system integrates reinforcement learning with generative models, creating a digital twin of the real world where vehicles can learn by interacting with dynamic, photorealistic environments. Unlike traditional rule-based simulators, GAIA-2 emphasizes generalization by exposing AI models to diverse driving scenarios that include edge cases and complex behaviors. This strategy enhances scalability and adaptability of self-driving AI across different geographies and traffic conditions, making it an innovative solution for building autonomous driving capabilities that do not require location-specific programming.
