Our take
Autonomous vehicle technology is rapidly developing, and many sectors are recognizing its value. However, whilst the self-driving industry has made significant advancements there is much more that can be done. There are challenges in this space surrounding scale and developing commercially viable self-driving technology.
Waabi hopes to tackle these challenges and be the leader in self-driving technology with their "AI first approach". The company said that combined with a closed-loop simulator, this approach will allow both common driving scenarios and safety-critical edge cases to be tested at scale - solving one of the key issues in the industry.
Waabi has a growing partnership with Volvo, which has seen the two companies develop an autonomous truck together. Volvo has also backed Waabi financially, as have other investors - with the company raising a whopping $1 billion in 2026. This capital will be used to expand into robotaxis through a new partnership with Uber.
