Wayve, a UK-based self-driving technology company, recently launched its AI model for self-driving: LINGO-1. 
LINGO-1 aims to combat one of the biggest criticisms of AI technology: its lack of transparency about why it produces certain outcomes.  
As Wayve describes, “LINGO-1 can comment on driving scenes and be prompted with questions to clarify and explain what factors in the driving environment affected its driving decisions.”
According to the Financial Times, when they tested the model, the AI could explain why it was traveling at a certain speed and could identify details in its surroundings, such as how many stories a building had. However, when asked if it could park on the left where there was a bus stop, it said it could, despite repeated questioning. Alex Kendall, Co-Founder & CEO of Wayve, accepted the model needed “a little more training”.
Wayve said that unlike other autonomous driving systems (such as Alphabet’s Waymo and GM’s Cruise) which drive following the rules determined by engineers, Wayve’s technology is based on processing videos of humans driving as well as self-learning. 
Wayve is currently testing its self-driving technology on some UK roads and partaking in Europe’s largest last-mile autonomous grocery delivery trial with Asda which they claim has benefitted 170,000 residents across 72,000 households in London.
