Volvo adds Waabi generative AI approach to accelerate autonomous trucking

The strategic collaboration with Volvo Autonomous Solutions follows Waabi’s rapid developments in the last few years involving partnerships with Uber Freight and Nvidia that bolster its generative-AI approach aimed at broader commercial deployment of autonomous trucks in the U.S.
Waabi has entered a strategic partnership with Volvo Autonomous Solutions for the joint development and deployment of autonomous trucks. The collaboration aims to transform the $1 trillion North American freight industry by vertically integrating the Waabi Driver into the Volvo VNL Autonomous truck with redundant systems for enabling safe autonomous operations, with the partners preparing for testing in 2025.
“Waabi is at the forefront of developing self-driving technologies leveraging the full power of AI,” said Shahrukh Kazmi, Chief Product Officer at Volvo Autonomous Solutions. “We are excited to integrate Waabi’s cutting-edge technology into our autonomous truck platform and work together to jointly develop a safe, efficient, and scalable autonomous transport solution.”
The VNL Autonomous, produced at Volvo Group’s flagship New River Valley assembly plant, is based on its autonomous technology platform that supports diverse operational needs, use cases, and Volvo Group truck brands.
