Nissan has locked in a major partnership with UK-based Wayve to fuse its next‑generation ProPILOT driver‑assist tech with Wayve’s embodied AI across a wide spread of future models. It’s a serious escalation of Nissan’s autonomous ambitions, moving beyond lane‑keeping and highway helpers into something far more adaptable.

ProPILOT launched back in 2016 as a single‑lane assistant, then grew into ProPILOT 2.0 in 2019 with multi‑lane capability and hands‑off driving. Useful, but hardly groundbreaking in 2025. Nissan knows it needs a leap, not a tweak, and Wayve’s end‑to‑end AI is the ticket.

A prototype shown in September 2025 combined Wayve’s AI Driver with Nissan’s Ground Truth Perception system using next‑gen LiDAR. The result: smooth, confident driving in both highway and messy urban environments — the kind of stuff that usually exposes the limits of rule‑based systems.

Under the new agreement, Wayve’s AI Driver becomes the backbone of the next‑gen ProPILOT series, destined for mass‑production models from 2027. Nissan wants global rollout across Japan, North America and beyond, with the system adapting to new cities and platforms with minimal extra development. That adaptability is the whole point: fewer hand‑coded rules, more learned behaviour.

Nissan is the first carmaker to commit to deploying Wayve’s AI at scale, and the move gives both companies a huge real‑world data pipeline. More cars on more roads means faster learning, quicker refinement and a long‑term edge in intelligent driving tech.

Nissan’s leadership calls it a new benchmark for driver assistance. Wayve says it’s the start of bringing embodied AI to the masses. Either way, the next ProPILOT won’t just be an upgrade — it’s a reset.
