Volvo, Waabi Deploy Autonomous Trucks on Texas Regional Lane

Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Waabi have launched commercial autonomous trucking operations in Texas. The partnership deploys autonomous trucks on a regional less-than-truckload service between Dallas and Houston, testing capabilities on a high-frequency corridor. The venture targets hours-of-service advantages on regional lanes, a strategy industry observers say could prove as economically viable as long-haul applications. Volvo contributes vehicle manufacturing expertise while Waabi provides the autonomous driving platform. The Texas deployment represents a critical test case for autonomous viability beyond transcontinental routes.
