Waabi builds a Physical AI platform that couples a verifiable, end-to-end AI model with an advanced neural simulator, allowing one shared ‘brain’ to control both autonomous long-haul trucks and urban robotaxis. The technology is designed to reason about the physical world and speed safe deployment of self-driving vehicles. With its latest financing, the company is focusing on accelerating commercial rollout in autonomous trucking while preparing a push into ride-hailing robotaxis through a new partnership with Uber. Waabi intends to run its robotaxi service exclusively on Uber’s platform, leveraging the additional milestone-based capital committed by Uber. The firm positions its simulator as a key competitive advantage, enabling rapid AI training and validation without excessive on-road testing. Financially, Waabi has now secured up to $1 billion USD of fresh capital, including a $750 million Series C round and contingent follow-on funding from Uber. This infusion provides significant runway to scale its engineering team, expand pilot programs, and advance toward full-scale commercialization.

Ethernovia is a San Jose–based semiconductor company creating a new class of automotive and edge packet processors designed to aggregate, route and manage high-bandwidth sensor, vision and AI data with deterministic latency and leading power efficiency. Its unified, Ethernet-centric architecture enables zonal and centralized systems that simplify vehicle and robot design while supporting advanced driver assistance, autonomous driving and other real-time, safety-critical applications. The processors provide a flexible, programmable data fabric that can evolve through over-the-air updates, allowing OEMs to deploy software-defined platforms that grow in capability over time. Ethernovia positions its technology as the “nervous system” for physical AI, addressing networking bottlenecks that legacy in-vehicle and industrial networks cannot handle. The firm plans to use new capital to accelerate development and production of its next-generation packet processor family, broaden software and system capabilities, and deepen customer engagements across automotive, robotics and industrial markets. Specific financial or user metrics were not disclosed in the article.
