Waabi builds simulation and autonomous vehicle software using a heavy systems-stack mix: C++, Rust, Python, PyTorch, and CUDA at the core, paired with hardware interfaces (LIDAR, GPS, CAN) and cloud orchestration (AWS, GCP, Azure). The engineering-first org (39 of 51–200 headcount) is scaling toward fully driverless operation, with active projects spanning a world simulator, multi-sensor simulation stacks, and safety verification—signaling maturity beyond perception toward closed-loop autonomous systems.
Notable leadership hires: Lead Manager
Waabi develops autonomous truck technology with a focus on simulation and behavioral modeling. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Toronto, the company operates across Canada and the United States with a team skewed toward systems and ML engineers. The platform centers on a proprietary world simulator, tools for autonomous vehicle development, and data annotation infrastructure. Key challenges include launching fully driverless systems, streamlining safety requirement processes, identifying safety gaps, and reducing vehicle downtime—typical scaling pain points for autonomous vehicle startups moving from testing to deployment.
Waabi's core stack includes C++, Rust, Python, and Go, with GPU compute via CUDA and ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX for autonomous vehicle perception and planning.
