Mercedes-Benz has signed a with British technology company Wayve. Under the deal, Mercedes plans to add Wayve's AI Driver software to future cars within two years. The companies describe the result as advanced for trips through cities and on highways.

Mercedes must decide how the system signals its limits to drivers and what happens when it needs them to take control. The public announcement does not yet answer those questions.

For Wayve, the deal is an opportunity to bring its technology into a premium production car. For Mercedes, it offers another route to more capable assistance without building every part of the software alone. The companies have announced the partnership; they still need to show how the finished system works in .
