Autonomous Trucks
Raquel Urtasun is a pioneer in the computer vision space and her start-up is focused on trucksWaabi, the autonomous driving startup, which is run by former Uber executive Raquel Urtasun has raised $83.5 million, in a round led by Khosla Ventures and even Uber and Aurora, her former employers. Waabi which has emerged out of stealth with its series A also becomes one the biggest startups in Canada. The interesting bit is the participation of Uber and Aurora as Uber sold its ATG group earlier this year to self-driving startup Aurora founded by former Waymo boss Chris Urmson. This is in some way a validation of the technology Urtasun and her team at Waabi are developing. Urtasun has been driving her AI experience for over two decades which she believes giving her startup an advantage.
