About

The platform connects to broker TMS systems and maintains a database of carrier preferences, recent lane activity, and equipment availability to suggest the most likely-to-accept carriers for each load, then automates the outreach process through email and SMS automation.

About
Waabi is a Toronto, Ontario-based autonomous trucking company — having raised over $280 million including a $200 million Series B in June 2024 led by Uber and Khosla Ventures — developing the Waabi Driver, an end-to-end generative AI system that operates Class 8 trucks without human safety drivers using a single interpretable neural network rather than the rule-based stacks used by competitors. Founded in 2021 by CEO Raquel Urtasun (University of Toronto professor, former Chief Scientist of Uber ATG, and endorsed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton), Waabi has partnered with Volvo Autonomous Solutions to produce the Volvo VNL Autonomous truck — featuring Waabi's AI driver integrated with six redundant safety systems and manufactured at Volvo's New River Valley plant in Virginia. Waabi runs autonomous freight shipments for Fortune 500 companies through its Uber Freight partnership in Texas, and has demonstrated complete autonomous driving capability across highways and general surface streets with driverless commercial operations targeting 2025.
