Waabi
Waabi develops the Waabi Driver, a foundation-model-based Level 4 AI system for long-haul autonomous trucking built entirely on generative AI simulation (Waabi World) before real-world deployment. The company launched first commercial autonomous deliveries between Dallas and Houston in September 2023 with Uber Freight as named commercial partner via a 10-year deployment agreement. In February 2025, Waabi and Volvo Autonomous Solutions announced joint development of Level 4 systems for Volvo long-haul trucks. In January 2026, Waabi raised $750M and announced a partnership with Uber to deploy 25,000 robotaxis, signalling expansion from trucking to passenger mobility.
