Autonomous driving, the Waabi Driver is now integrated in the Volvo VNL truck
With this integration complete, both companies are now focused on delivering an autonomous solution that is safe and supports broad commercial deployment. The joint solution combines Waabi’s industry leading self-driving technology with Volvo’s autonomous truck, designed with redundant systems to enable safe autonomous operations.
Volvo Autonomous Solutions and partner Waabi have reached a major milestone in autonomous trucking by successfully integrating the Waabi Driver with the Volvo VNL Autonomous. This joint achievement underscores the significant progress both companies are making together in advancing autonomous freight. Here’s our recent interview with Sasko Cuklev (Volvo Autonomous Solutions).
The successful integration of the Volvo VNL Autonomous and Waabi Driver marks a significant milestone in the longstanding relationship and strategic partnership between Waabi and Volvo Autonomous Solutions to accelerate the development and adoption of autonomous trucks. With this integration complete, both companies are now focused on delivering an autonomous solution that is safe and supports broad commercial deployment. The joint solution combines Waabi’s industry leading self-driving technology with Volvo’s autonomous truck, designed with redundant systems to enable safe autonomous operations.
Autonomous driving: Volvo and Canadian partner Waabi
“The future of autonomous trucking hinges on three critical areas: autonomous technology that is safe, scalable, and can deliver on customer needs; hardware that is purpose-built for autonomous operations from the ground up; and a commercial deployment model that solves problems in the supply chain without added friction,” said Raquel Urtasun, Founder and CEO of Waabi. “Together with Volvo, we are leading autonomous trucking forward. The Volvo VNL Autonomous, powered by the Waabi Driver, is the next step in ushering in a stronger, safer, and more efficient era in transportation.”
“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,” added Nils Jaeger, President of Volvo Autonomous Solutions. “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.”
