Why it matters
Waabi trains and validates its driver largely in a generative-AI simulator, and says this cut the time to open a new lane from about three months to three weeks.
Real-world use
Hauls freight for logistics firm Warp on the Dallas-Houston corridor and has run Dallas-San Antonio, with an observer on board; Waabi targets driverless operation once Volvo begins installing its system, reported for Q1 2027.
