Dive Brief: PlusAI and Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp. have entered into a definitive agreement to combine operations to become a publicly traded company, according to a Sept. 3 announcement.

Regarding the autonomous trucking industry overall, TD Cowen said “AV Trucking is a sizable and compelling AV vertical due to narrower ODD and business model considerations.”

However, TD Cowen cautioned the autonomous trucking segment was still in the early stages and faced significant execution risks.

PlusAI hascontinued to advance its plans toward commercialization even following an unsuccessful attempt to go public earlier this year.

This is what led PlusAI to Texas Ventures III, Liu said.
