Top Opportunities

Commercial driverless trucking deployment alongside a new robotaxi push via the Uber partnership.

Top Risks

Expansion from trucking into robotaxis adds execution complexity and puts Waabi in direct competition with better-capitalized robotaxi incumbents (Waymo, Tesla).

Critical Dependencies

Continue to Dependency Graph ↓

A Toronto-based autonomous trucking startup founded by Raquel Urtasun, building physical AI for driverless freight trucks and, following a January 2026 raise, expanding into robotaxis via an Uber partnership. Waabi raised $750 million in venture funding co-led by Khosla Ventures and G2 Venture Partners with participation from NVIDIA's NVentures and the venture arms of Volvo and Porsche, plus an additional $250 million in milestone-based funding from Uber -- bringing the total to roughly $1 billion in the largest fundraise in Canadian history. Waabi's platform is built on NVIDIA compute.
