Waabi x Volvo Autonomous Solutions

Canadian autonomous-trucking company (founded 2021 by Raquel Urtasun, former [Uber atg](/companies/uber-atg) chief scientist and University of Toronto professor). Builds the Waabi Driver, an end-to-end generative-AI L4 system trained and validated in the Waabi World generative simulator. Targets driverless commercial trucking on the Volvo VNL Autonomous platform; as of early 2026 it still runs with a safety driver (the end-2025 driver-out target was deliberately not met, gated on the purpose-built Volvo truck). In January 2026 it raised about $1B and added a robotaxi lane with Uber.

[Volvo Autonomous Solutions](https://www.volvo.com/autonomous) is a division of the Volvo Group developing autonomous truck transport solutions for hub-to-hub long-haul logistics. Its Volvo VNL Autonomous truck integrates Aurora Innovation's autonomous driving technology. Deploying with DSV and DHL in Texas, the division plans 30 autonomous vehicles in 2026, 100+ by 2028, and targets 300+ trucks with driverless operation by Q1 2027.
