Deployment
Volvo VNL Autonomous at Texas
Volvo's production-ready, purpose-built-for-autonomy Class 8 truck (unveiled at ACT Expo May 2024), engineered with six redundant systems (braking, steering, communication, computing, power, energy storage/motion control). It is a virtual-driver-agnostic platform: it runs the Aurora Driver (Aurora integration) and is also the integration platform for the Waabi Driver. Currently hauls paid freight for DHL and DSV in Texas with a safety driver present.

Waabi Driver autonomous freight in Texas (Dallas-Houston), operated under a 10-year Uber Freight driver-as-a-service partnership, with a purpose-built Lancaster TX terminal. Runs WITH a safety driver as of early 2026; the end-2025 driver-out target was deliberately not met, gated on validation of the purpose-built Volvo VNL Autonomous.
