Generative artificial intelligence company Waabi and Volvo Autonomous Solutions have announced a partnership to develop and deploy autonomous semi-trucks.
Volvo plans to integrate Waabi’s virtual driver system into the carmaker’s VNL Autonomous truck model, which will be manufactured at Volvo’s New River Valley assembly plant in Virginia. The company says Waabi’s AI-powered system is designed to allow vehicles to adapt to a variety of different driving conditions and scenarios on roads.
“Waabi is at the forefront of developing self-driving technologies leveraging the full power of AI,” Volvo Autonomous Solutions chief product officer Shahrukh Kazmi said in a February 3 news release. “We are excited to integrate Waabi’s cutting-edge technology into our autonomous truck platform and work together to jointly develop a safe, efficient, and scalable autonomous transport solution.”
