Waabi
Physical-AI platform for self-driving trucks built on simulation-first training.
Proof of life. Secured roughly $1B in new funding to lead the Physical AI push (January 2026); Volvo autonomous-truck demo at NVIDIA GTC (October 2025).
Founded by AI researcher Raquel Urtasun, Waabi trains a single end-to-end AI model (its Physical AI Platform) largely in a high-fidelity simulator rather than on the road. The company targets autonomous long-haul trucking and is extending the same model toward surface-street and robotaxi use.
