The Japanese automaker said it will launch a new version of its autonomous driving and collision-avoidance technology using Wayve’s artificial intelligence. (The Logic)

Talking point: It’s a step toward mass commercialization for U.K.-based Wayve, which opened a research and development office in Vancouver last year to focus on machine learning breakthroughs. Nissan plans to deploy the technology in its 2027 fiscal year, which usually starts in April. It’s one of many projects poised to bring more autonomous vehicles to the streets in the next three years, as Tesla prepares to launch a robotaxi service as soon as June, and Alphabet’s Waymo expands to 10 new cities. If the feature works well, it could also be a boon for Nissan, which has been struggling to keep up with innovation trends and has received middling scores on its other automated driving system.
