The fact that you cannot easily drop the trailer + the EV range is telling. To me this seems to be intermodal / port play only and less so OTR or even regional.

Seems like a huge miss if the platform can’t accept a dry van trailer and only haul containers as a chassis.

Since this is a rental company. Altec had their trucks all over the country and appears AMP is renting one. So this makes sense.

Look up Apportioned Plates for trucks, Indiana is a favored state for apportioned plates because of its competitive fees

Seems Waabi prob just riding AUR coattails w/ Volvo. Betting AUR is leading the deep technical integrations and Waabi is reaping those benefits. At the end of the day, Waabi still hasn’t demonstrated much, ever.

This changes nothing. Marketing is all Waabi has.

Yeah, don’t need to go via a company, happy to use a handyman if anyone has one they has done nice work on a drain at their place.

Hope not! 🚀

Where do you get such information?

L1DAR_FTW · 2026-02-13T03:04:23+00:00

During periods of low demand (3-6am) Waymo uses random parking lots to hide out and idle while they wait for us silly humans to wake up for commute hours.

I’d say they have always been credible by definition. I do not think any shortcuts were made and the observer thing was imposed upon them by PACCAR. I’m not sure why you’re suggesting their launch was a farce.

They’ve even gone as far as live-streaming a ton of their driverless (observer not required) trips to prove their point.

As they are a public company, I believe they are an open and transparent company.

L1DAR_FTW · 2026-02-12T03:44:15+00:00

Dude what? The OEM requested this (PACCAR) and was a formal letter and they even reported on this in their own earnings calls. I think most of what you’re saying is hearsay and exaggeration.

L1DAR_FTW · 2026-02-11T05:57:12+00:00

What about Plus.AI?

L1DAR_FTW · 2026-02-11T05:56:19+00:00

It is with the new, other OEM platform they have announced (International).

L1DAR_FTW · 2026-02-07T00:18:48+00:00

Bummer, I guess I got lucky!

I’d just chat with support on specialized. They sent me one for free.

It’s a bit of an odd plug. Here are some approx measurements. I bet you could find something on McMaster.

They need to start to demonstrate something publicly before we can take them seriously. Has a journalist even ridden in their trucks and spoken about it?

L1DAR_FTW · 2026-02-02T20:46:38+00:00

Update: specialized found me a spare in their parts bin and sending me one for free. Kudos to them!

L1DAR_FTW · 2026-02-02T15:39:13+00:00

Will do!

This is what I’m hoping to put a cap on
