Uber Freight x Waabi

[Uber Freight](/companies/uber) is a market-leading enterprise logistics technology company and a reportable segment of [Uber](/companies/uber) Technologies (NYSE: UBER). Spun off in 2017 by founder Lior Ron, it manages over $20B in freight under management and serves ~1 in 3 Fortune 500 shippers. The company is a deployment channel for autonomous trucking partners including [Aurora](/companies/aurora) (Premier Autonomy program, 1B+ reserved driverless miles to 2030) and [Waabi](/companies/waabi) (Driver-as-a-Service partnership).

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.
