Volvo + Waabi = self-driving trucks
The Swedish automaker is already working with Aurora on its autonomous big rigs, and now its adding Waabi to its list of partners. Raquel Urtasun, the former chief scientist at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group, founded Waabi in 2021 to be a more “AI-centric approach” to autonomous vehicles.
Volvo says it will integrate the “Waabi Driver” into its autonomous trucks at its assembly plant in Virginia. No word on when the driverless trucks will hit the road. (Trucking has been a tougher problem for AV operators than robotaxis. Actually, the robotaxis are pretty tough too.)
