Waabi

Autonomous trucking software licensing to OEMs

Waabi develops autonomous trucking technology. Its flagship Waabi Driver is a self-driving system that can be trained to make decisions, apply learned skills to new routes and terrains, and work with different hardware setups. A key part of its approach is Waabi World, a sophisticated simulation environment that lets the system be trained and tested virtually, reducing real-world driving miles, lowering costs, and increasing safety. The company licenses this technology to trucking fleets and OEMs for factory-level integration, aiming for large-scale commercialization. What sets Waabi apart is its emphasis on end-to-end training, geography and hardware adaptability, and its strong leadership in AI and self-driving research. Its goal is to bring safe, affordable autonomous trucking to scale by licensing the Waabi Driver to industry players and enabling widespread deployment.
