Canonical ID: `966c4166-e66e-4098-b9eb-5fb38521f30d`

ONE-OFF TEST (not commercial ops). Reported via Forbes (Alan Ohnsman, 22 Sep 2026; CEO Raquel Urtasun quotes): [Waabi](/companies/waabi.md) said a test truck ran about 300 miles (~480 km) Dallas to San Antonio on highway without prior route simulation, practice runs, or new real-world data for that route; safety driver present; company claimed no interventions; about 4.5 hours at about 60 mph average. Framed as company-claimed / CEO-reported to Forbes. No matching Waabi blog primary found for this specific run as of ingest. Distinct from the commercial Dallas-Houston Uber Freight corridor (see waabi-uber-freight-dallas-houston and waabi-uber-freight-texas). Stack: [Waabi Driver](/models/waabi-truck.md) on Waabi truck platform. Do not treat as a commercial lane or driverless milestone.
