The new offering boasts the name Waabi Driver and it is meant to create an entirely stacked autonomy solution for semi-truck OEMs. It integrates the vehicles into the manufacturing process. According to the company itself, it is different because "The Waabi Driver is an end-to-end trainable system that automatically learns from data, speeding up development dramatically and enabling it to learn the complex decision-making needed for operating on the road safely. This contrasts the traditional approach that is brittle, overly complex, and requires painstaking manual code adjustments."
