Self-driving startup Wayve taps Microsoft for 'supercomputer muscle' - Reuters
LONDON, May 18 (Reuters) - British startup Wayve said on Wednesday it will use supercomputer infrastructure designed for the firm by its investor Microsoft (MSFT.O) to process vast amounts of data as it develops machine learning-based models for self-driving cars.Wayve's technology relies on machine learning using camera sensors fitted on the outside of the vehicle, where the system learns from traffic patterns and the behaviour of other drivers, instead of the conventional method of relying on detailed digital maps and coding to tell vehicles how to operate."Microsoft is providing supercomputing muscle," Wayve Chief Executive Alex Kendall told Reuters.
