Stellantis and Wayve to Demonstrate AI-Powered, Hands-Free Driving at Wave by Vento 2026
Stellantis and Wayve will participate in Wave by Vento 2026 in Turin, Oct. 7-9, bringing together executives, technology and real-world demonstrations to show how artificial intelligence can make mobility safer, more intuitive and more relevant to everyday life.
A centerpiece of Stellantis’ participation will be “Technology Made for Humans,” a conversation between Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa and Wayve co-founder and CEO Alex Kendall. They will explore the future of AI-powered mobility and how strategic partnerships can accelerate the development of technology designed for deployment at scale. Moderated by Adam Jonas, global embodied AI and robotics strategist at Morgan Stanley, the session will take place Oct. 9 at 11:20 a.m. on the Fucine Main Stage.
Throughout the event, Stellantis and Wayve will offer demonstration rides in Fiat 500e and Maserati Grecale development vehicles featuring STLA AutoDrive powered by Wayve. By integrating the Wayve AI Driver with the STLA AutoDrive technology platform, the vehicles demonstrate hands-free, door-to-door supervised automated driving (Level 2++) in real-world conditions. Building on the Jeep® Grand Cherokee development vehicle showcased at Stellantis’ Investor Day in May, the Fiat 500e and Maserati Grecale integrations extend the same core AI driving foundation across three distinct vehicles, platforms and configurations. The approach demonstrates the technology’s potential to adapt across Stellantis platforms without developing the driving intelligence independently for each model, providing a flexible foundation for bringing advanced driver-assistance technologies to more brands, architectures and customer profiles over time.
Stellantis’ presence at Wave by Vento reflects the Company’s commitment to technology that delivers tangible customer value. The goal is practical: reduce the mental effort of everyday driving and create a more natural, seamless and comfortable experience. By combining Wayve’s end-to-end AI driving intelligence with Stellantis’ automotive engineering expertise and scalable vehicle platforms, the collaboration aims to accelerate advanced driver assistance while keeping safety, trust and customer experience at the center. Announced in May 2026, the strategic partnership initially focuses on hands-free, door-to-door supervised automated driving in highway and urban environments. The first product launch is targeted for 2028 in North America.
The development vehicles make Stellantis’ technology strategy tangible: build advanced technology on a common foundation, scale it intelligently and apply it in ways that preserve each brand’s character and purpose. Together, they demonstrate a simple principle: technology creates value when it makes mobility easier, more intuitive and more enjoyable for the people who use it.
