Waabi secured 1 billion USD at a 3.8 billion USD valuation to scale a unified AI driver for trucks and robotaxis. 🚛 The startup uses generative AI and high-fidelity simulation to bypass years of physical road testing. This milestone-based deal with Uber for 25,000 vehicles signals a systemic shift toward simulation-first training. 🤖 If validated, this lean architecture will drastically lower the capital barriers to mass autonomous deployment. 🚀
