KnoWay is an autonomous driving technology company appearing in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the A Safehouse in the Hills update.
Description
KnoWay operates a fleet of Vivanite robotaxis that spawn throughout the State of San Andreas, accompanied by the appearance of new KnoWay billboards across Los Santos as part of the A Safehouse in the Hills update. The company operates a depot out of the Dorset Drive Office Building in Rockford Hills.
The company is the focus of the KnoWay Out mission strand, where it is revealed to be heavily linked to the FIB, with its fleet of Vivanite robotaxis and newly developed self-driving Metrotrains forming part of a highly organized surveillance network. It also maintains an army of heavily equipped mercenaries to defend its locations and interests.
The KnoWay logo features a stylized "K" designed to resemble a person waving their arm to hail a ride, owing to the company's autonomous hailing system. The use of "Kno" in its name and the tagline "We Kno where you're going..." also references the company's surveillance network highlighted in the KnoWay Out mission strand.
Influence
KnoWay appears to be a direct analogue of Waymo, an autonomous driving technology company that operates commercial self-driving taxi services across major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, California, with plans to fully expand to Miami, Florida, in 2026.[1]
The company's name is a pun on the phrase "no way", implying the rejection of an offer. It also suggests an inability to reach the correct destination, seemingly mocking the real-world reputation of autonomous driving.
