Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck

The Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck is the autonomous heavy-truck product of Waabi, recorded in the truck form factor as the Waabi Driver generative-AI virtual driver running on a truck platform. Made by Waabi, founded in 2021 in Toronto and led by chief executive Raquel Urtasun, the former chief scientist of Uber's ATG self-driving unit, it is genuinely AI-primary: a single end-to-end generative-AI model, the Waabi Driver, that the truck cannot drive without, trained and validated in the Waabi World generative-AI closed-loop simulator and running on NVIDIA DRIVE Thor compute. The current go-forward platform is the Volvo VNL Autonomous, Volvo's purpose-built, redundancy-equipped tractor into which the Waabi Driver is vertically integrated, following a partnership announced in February 2025 and the truck's unveiling on October 28, 2025; this is distinct from the registry's separate Volvo VNL Autonomous entry for Volvo's own program. Waabi has run commercial freight on the roughly 385-kilometer Dallas-Houston lane with Uber Freight under a ten-year deployment commitment, but the load-bearing fact is that every run is safety-driver-supervised: Waabi's defining fully-driverless target was the end of 2025, and it was missed, slipping into 2026 and beyond pending validation of the Volvo VNL Autonomous platform, so the registry records the maturity as pilot and does not assert that driverless operation has been achieved. The differentiator claim of interpretable and verifiable AI safety is Waabi's own and is recorded as a claim. On funding, Waabi raised a $200 million Series B in June 2024 and a $750 million Series C in January 2026, co-led by Khosla Ventures and G2 Venture Partners with NVIDIA, Volvo, and Porsche, plus a roughly $250 million milestone commitment from Uber tied to a deal to deploy at least 25,000 autonomous vehicles, as the company expanded beyond trucking into robotaxis. Named shippers beyond Uber Freight are not verified, and Waabi's safety-driver-supervised Dallas-Houston running should not be conflated with Aurora's separate driverless operations on the same corridor.

Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck from Waabi. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.

Yes. Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck's recorded specifications on the DEPLOY registry: Range: 320 km; Max speed: 90 km/h. See the Specs section for the full sourced set.

Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck and Gatik Autonomous Box Truck (Gatik · 12 deployments) are both truck robots on the DEPLOY registry. Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck has 1 verified deployment on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck ranks in roughly the top 69% of truck models tracked by the registry.

Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.

Waabi Driver Autonomous Truck has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.

Waabi is pioneering Physical AI for autonomous trucks, using an AI model acting as a shared brain for both autonomous trucks and robotaxis. Waabi partnered with Volvo to demonstrate the future of autonomous trucking, combining Waabi's self-driving technology with Volvo's autonomous truck platform with redundant systems.
