Meet Waabi: The new kid on the block for autonomous driving
Founded in 2021 by AI pioneer Raquel Urtasun Waabi Waabi is revolutionizing the autonomous driving industry with its innovative “AI-first approach.” Unlike traditional autonomous vehicle manufacturers that rely on rules-based systems and millions of real-world miles, Waabi is harnessing the power of generative AI to create a more efficient, scalable and safe solution.

Secret sauce: Wabiworld
The core of Waabi’s technology is a closed-loop simulator, Waabi World, which it calls “the ultimate school for self-driving cars.” This virtual environment allows Waabi Driver (the AI brain of the system) to learn from countless scenarios without ever going on the real road. It’s like giving your student unlimited practice in any driving situation – without any nerve-wracking moments for the instructor.
