TESLA’S ELECTRIC SEMI-TRUCK TAKES ON A DIESEL BIG RIG
The secret sauce: Waabi World
At the heart of Waabi’s technology is Waabi World, a closed-loop simulator that’s been dubbed “the ultimate school for self-driving vehicles.” This virtual environment allows the Waabi Driver (the AI brain of the system) to learn from countless scenarios without ever hitting the real road. It’s like giving a student driver unlimited practice in every possible driving situation – minus the heart-stopping moments for the instructor.
