Self-driving truck startup Waabi is partnering with Volvo Autonomous Solutions to jointly develop and deploy autonomous trucks, an important milestone as it gets closer to a commercial launch.
“We now have everything we need to scale our product,” Raquel Urtasun, founder and CEO of Waabi, told TechCrunch. “We have the next-generation AV 2.0 technology, we have an approach that is much more capital efficient, and a much faster path to market.”
Waabi plans to launch commercial pilots with the Volvo-built trucks in Texas over the next couple of months, with a product-ready driverless demonstration on public roads planned for the end of 2025.
