The Tokyo Challenge: SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son Experiences Wayve’s Embodied AI in Action
Against the record
Wayve AI Driver, from Wayve, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from 3 Sept 2026: Uber and Wayve opened robotaxi rides to the public in London. A safety driver is still aboard, and fares start the same as normal Uber rides.
This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.
From the video's description
To mark Wayve’s expansion to Japan, SoftBank Group’s Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son joined Wayve Co-founder and CEO Alex Kendall for “The Tokyo Challenge,” a drive through Tokyo that put the Wayve AI Driver to the test. Watch as Son experiences firsthand how Wayve’s AV2.0 embodied AI navigates one of the world’s busiest driving environments, showcasing the technology’s adaptability and readiness to scale globally.
