Stellantis and Wayve ran one AI driving stack on a Fiat 500e and a Maserati Grecale
The two companies demonstrated hands-free supervised driving in two unrelated vehicle platforms, and said each integration reached public roads in under four weeks.
Stellantis and Wayve said on October 9 in Turin that they had demonstrated the same AI driving software in a Fiat 500e and a Maserati Grecale, two development vehicles on unrelated platforms. Both companies published the announcement the same day, Stellantis from Turin and Wayve from London.
The demonstration ran at the Wave by Vento event and showed what Stellantis labels a Level 2++ hands-free, door-to-door supervised driving assistant, built from the Wayve AI Driver integrated with Stellantis’ STLA AutoDrive platform. The companies said each of the two vehicles went from the start of integration to testing on public roads in under four weeks.
The work follows a Jeep Grand Cherokee integration the company showed at its investor day in May, when the partnership was announced. Stellantis said a shared AI foundation connects the Level 2++ system to what it calls its L4-Ready platforms, and that the first customer deployment is targeted for 2028, starting in North America.
Stellantis said the AI Driver operates without high-definition maps, hand-coded driving rules or vehicle-specific hardware — the claim that supports the four-week integration figure, and one neither company has published evidence for beyond the demonstration itself. Both releases describe development vehicles rather than production cars, and neither names a vehicle line that will carry the system at launch.
No filing accompanied the announcement in the registers reachable here: Stellantis N.V.’s most recent Form 6-K was dated September 16, and the company does not appear in the SEC daily index for October 9. Wayve is privately held in the United Kingdom.
