The contributor network and accumulated egocentric video dataset are the moat. Motion capture alternatives cost 100x more per hour and produce less diverse data. Every hour collected widens the gap against competitors who would need to build the same capture infrastructure from zero.
Using crowdsourced egocentric video with 3D pose annotation, motion foundation model pre-training from diverse human activity, and automated ML quality scoring.
Retrofit autonomy kits that convert excavators and heavy equipment into operator-less machines.
Ex-Waymo trucking leadership attacking a labor-starved $13T construction market with reversible retrofits instead of new OEM machines, a faster path to revenue than highway autonomy.
AI-first autonomy stack for driverless trucks and robotaxis, validated in generative simulation.
Simulation-first development with generative world models lets Waabi validate safety without the fleet burn that bankrupted earlier AV companies, arriving at driverless launch with less capital consumed.
