Latest News About Waabi

Here are the latest publicly reported updates on Waabi.

• Funding and expansion into robotaxis with Uber: Waabi reportedly closed a $1 billion financing package, including a $750 million Series C and roughly $250 million in milestone-based funding from Uber, with plans to deploy more than 25,000 Waabi-powered robotaxis on Uber’s platform. Timeline for rollout was not disclosed at the time. This marks Waabi’s expansion beyond autonomous trucking into passenger mobility on a large scale [source coverage from finance outlets and tech press in early 2026].

• Partnerships and strategic bets: In addition to the Uber collaboration, Waabi has been connected with Volvo for autonomous trucking initiatives and has pursued collaborations aimed at accelerating deployment of its Waabi Driver technology in commercial freight networks. These partnerships reflect Waabi’s emphasis on AI-first development and a scalable go-to-market for both trucking and robotaxi use cases.

• Company messaging and positioning: Waabi describes itself as advancing Physical AI focused on autonomous trucks first, leveraging an end-to-end interpretable and verifiable AI model backed by a realistic neural simulator to shorten development cycles and enable safe, scalable operation on public roads. This positioning is reiterated across Waabi’s own channels and coverage in industry press.

• Media coverage and analysis: Financial and tech outlets (Bloomberg, Forbes, TechCrunch, Law360, etc.) have reported on Waabi’s fundraising rounds, partnerships, and the strategic shift toward robotaxis, with some noting delays or cautions around large-scale rollout timelines, typical for autonomous-vehicle programs. If you’d like, I can summarize a representative set of these articles with direct quotes and date stamps.

• Public statements and media appearances: Waabi’s leadership, including CEO Raquel Urtasun, has discussed the company’s progress and regulatory considerations in interviews and panels in 2026, including discussions about Canada-specific regulatory environments and cross-border deployment considerations. Quotes and clips are available through business media outlets and Waabi’s insights pages.
