From October 27-29, San Francisco's Moscone West will be the epicenter of innovation as TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 convenes over 10,000 startup and venture capital leaders to explore the cutting-edge future of technology. Among the many thought-provoking discussions, a standout panel on the AI Stage will delve into the groundbreaking advancements redefining intelligent systems, featuring the visionary Alex Kendall, co-founder and CEO of Wayve.
In 2017, Kendall embarked on a groundbreaking journey with the inception of Wayve, a company dedicated to revolutionizing autonomous mobility. His ambitious goal was to unlock the potential of self-driving technology through embodied intelligence, rather than relying on traditional handcrafted rules. This innovative approach was fueled by Kendall's pioneering research at the University of Cambridge, which laid the groundwork for a new wave of self-driving systems driven by deep learning and computer vision.
Under Kendall's guidance, Wayve made history as the first company to demonstrate that a machine could learn to interpret its environment and make real-time driving decisions without the need for conventional maps or manual coding. Today, Kendall is spearheading the development of AV2.0, a revolutionary architecture for autonomous vehicles designed to scale on a global level. As CEO, he is dedicated to aligning strategy, research, partnerships, and commercialization efforts to bring intelligent driving systems to the forefront of transportation.
With a PhD in computer vision and robotics, award-winning academic achievements, and recognition on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, Kendall stands out as a unique blend of scientist, founder, and industry leader. His participation in the TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 panel promises to provide valuable insights into the transformative power of embodied intelligence, the challenges of developing adaptable systems, and the keys to scaling autonomy in the commercial market.
