Overview

The Humble Hauler is a fully autonomous, electric Class 8 truck built by Humble Robotics (San Francisco, founded 2025) for dock-to-dock freight transport. It has no steering wheel, no driver's seat, and no gas pedal -- a purpose-built cabless flatbed platform with a 200-mile range. DEPLOY's verified-vs-claimed note: the truck has been publicly unveiled and covered by the LA Times and Electrive, but Humble has not disclosed any operational autonomous freight deliveries, paying customers, or regulatory approval for road use. The 'dock-to-dock autonomous capability' is a design claim, not an independently verified performance result. The truck's significance is its distinctive form factor -- fully cabless, not a retrofitted human truck -- and its timing relative to California's potential lifting of its driverless freight truck ban.
