Waabi COO says company’s autonomous trucks are ready for deployment

Toronto-based autonomous vehicle company Waabi says its self-driving transport truck is ready to hit the road.

Ron said that Waabi is just waiting for Volvo, the Swedish automaker it’s partnered with, to finish the final validation work on its upcoming autonomous truck.

From the source: “The system is highly, highly, highly mature in the initial deployment area in Texas,” Ron said.

Waabi sped up its efforts to commercialize self-driving trucks earlier this year with a $750 million USD ($1.02 billion CAD) Series C round.

Just over a year later at Nrth, Ron expressed a more optimistic view about Waabi’s Canadian future.
