Waabi develops an AI platform for autonomous trucking and broader autonomous mobility, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Toronto. The company has established offices in San Francisco, Dallas, and Pittsburgh, and operates on a simulation-first approach to autonomous vehicle development. Its core products include Waabi World, a high-fidelity simulator, and Waabi Driver, an AI stack that learns from both simulated and real-world data.
The platform is designed to reason, adapt, and scale across real-world environments, with a unified AI architecture claimed to power both autonomous trucks and robotaxis. Waabi has emphasised safety, interpretability, and verifiability as central to its technical approach. The company aims to accelerate deployment on public roads whilst reducing the cost and risk associated with traditional road testing.
Waabi has secured backing from major technology investors and partners including NVIDIA, Porsche, and BlackRock. The company has also established strategic collaborations with Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Uber. In addition to its technology platform, Waabi operates a direct-to-customer trucking business model designed to integrate with existing logistics networks, positioning the company to serve both the autonomous trucking and robotaxi sectors.
