About Waabi
Learn more about Waabi and their company culture.
Waabi is an artificial intelligence company pioneering generative AI for self-driving technology, with an initial focus on the long-haul trucking industry. Founded in 2021 by AI and self-driving pioneer Raquel Urtasun, Waabi is on a mission to bring the promise of self-driving to commercialization safely and scalably. The company has developed a revolutionary AI-first approach that leverages the power of generative AI to create a single, end-to-end AI system capable of human-like reasoning. This system, known as the Waabi Driver, is designed to be interpretable and its safety can be validated and verified, a claimed first in the autonomous vehicle and AI systems deployed in the physical world.
A core component of Waabi's technology is Waabi World, an advanced, high-fidelity simulator. This closed-loop simulation engine, built with the latest in generative AI, mirrors the real world in appearance and behavior, enabling comprehensive testing and training of the Waabi Driver in a virtual environment. This simulation-first methodology significantly reduces the need for extensive on-road testing, leading to a more sustainable, efficient, and safer development process. On-road driving is primarily reserved for the final validation and verification stages. The Waabi Driver is engineered for factory-level OEM integration and large-scale commercialization. The company is working with partners like Volvo Group and Uber Freight to bring its autonomous trucking solutions to market. Waabi plans to launch fully driverless, generative AI-powered autonomous trucks in 2025. The company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and has established a significant operational presence in Texas, including a purpose-built AV trucking terminal in Lancaster.
