The Volvo Group shows interest in the development of autonomous trucks by investing in Canadian specialist Waabi Innovation, currently developing next-generation artificial intelligence technology to solve autonomy at scale. The Canadian company recently unveiled the Waabi Driver, its core autonomous trucking solution, designed for large-scale commercialization and safe deployment. This solution is complemented by Waabi World, a scalable high-quality simulator, exposing the Waabi Driver to the vast diversity of scenarios needed to hone its driving skills and paving the way to widespread adoption of autonomous trucking.
Why Waabi is a benchmark in the development of autonomous trucks
“Waabi is using advanced artificial intelligence technology to test, assess skills, and ultimately teach a virtual driver to maneuver safely and efficiently in a commercial-ready autonomous trucking solution. We are impressed by what they have accomplished and see that Volvo Group can add considerable strategic value to the development of their business. We are currently exploring ways to cooperate,” said Martin Witt, President of Volvo Group Venture Capital.
