Against the record
Waabi Driver, from Waabi, is at stage 3 of 5 on our ladder: pilot. Working with a named customer in a real setting. The latest milestone on its record is from 5 Oct 2026: Volvo and Waabi began hauling freight for customers in Texas, starting with Warp, between Dallas and Houston. A person still sits in the driver's seat.

From the video's description
For the first time, the Waabi Driver drove the Dallas–San Antonio lane, one of Texas's most important transportation arteries with zero new real-world data, zero simulated data, and zero fine-tuning or engineering to prepare the system for the route. This doesn't just expand Waabi's footprint in Texas, where we're rapidly growing commercial operations, it demonstrates a capability critical to scaling self-driving: navigating a completely new route zero-shot. What normally takes months or years to unlock, the Waabi Driver did near-instantly, handling complex driving scenarios in a totally new geography it had never seen before, safely, smoothly, and fully autonomously with zero disengagements.
