Waabi

Our CEO Raquel Urtasun joined the latest Autonocast on what separates Waabi from the rest of the autonomous vehicle industry. Our principle has always been less is more—extremely capital efficient, extremely focused. We solve things with technology, not by adding more people, more data, more data centers, more everything.

“Partnerships like the one between Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Waabi play an important role not only in advancing autonomous technology, but also in building the broader ecosystem required to support commercial deployment. Autonomy has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in the transport industry, including safety, efficiency, and capacity. By working together, we are laying the groundwork for a more resilient future for freight.” - Nils Chr. Jaeger, President of Volvo Autonomous Solutions

Not all simulations are equal. "If you want to use simulation for your safety case, there's one thing you need to prove: that the simulator is as realistic as the real world. If your simulation isn't showing you what's going to happen on the road, it doesn't matter how many simulations you run. At Waabi, we went the extra mile to prove that driving with our autonomy system in our simulator is the same as driving in the real world, a massive push forward for the industry." - Raquel Urtasun, speaking at NVIDIA GTC

We recently joined our partners at Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Volvo Group in Greensboro to experience multiple Volvo VNL Autonomous trucks powered by the Waabi Driver. Seeing our technology integrated across a fleet of VNLs reinforces what we're building together: a new era of safer, more efficient, and sustainable freight transportation.

At the NVIDIA GTC LIVE, Raquel Urtasun explained why she founded Waabi: traditional self-driving approaches wouldn't scale. The path forward? Rethink the world with an AI-first, simulation-first approach. Build end-to-end verifiable systems with reasoning where safety is foundational, not an afterthought. This is how Physical AI reaches the next level.

What a way to kick off NVIDIA GTC 2026! The keynote pregame brought together industry leaders to discuss the Physical AI revolution. Our CEO Raquel Urtasun shared how training systems in simulation enables safe, scalable autonomous operations in the real world. Excited for a great show ahead.

How do you build autonomous trucks that are truly ready for Level 4 deployment? Raquel Urtasun breaks it down in IEEE Spectrum: verifiable end-to-end AI capable of reasoning, multi-sensor systems, simulation-first testing, and why surface street capability matters for real-world operations. https://lnkd.in/gMthMTCV

Next week at NVIDIA GTC in San Jose, our CEO Raquel Urtasun joins some of the brightest minds in AI to discuss the generative AI breakthroughs pushing physical AI into a new era. Catch Raquel at the GTC Live Pregame Show right before Jensen Huang's keynote, and at her panel "Shaping the Next Era of Autonomous Driving Through Safety-Centered AI" at 5PM on March 16. https://lnkd.in/eE964kps
