My grandfather created the first overland mail route from Iraq to Haifa almost 100 years ago. Trucking has evolved, but the trucks themselves are largely the same. At @HumbleRobotics, we’re changing that. Today we’re announcing our $51M Series A, led by @obviousvc, to rethink commercial vehicles in an autonomous electric future. This adds to the $24M seed we raised just 6 months ago. 1/

Let's go @moislamvc !! Exciting times ahead

The exclusive from @ryajetha at @BusinessInsider: businessinsider.com/humble-r… Press release: businesswire.com/news/home/2… Our website: humblerobotics.ai/?utm_sourc… Work with us: humblerobotics.ai/careers?ut…

None of this happens without the team building it every day at @HumbleRobotics and our many investors who believed in it early. Thank you. 6/

The Humble Hauler is focused on regional freight. Routes under 250 miles, where 87% of the U.S. truck tonnage moves. It’s the simplest vehicle we could imagine for moving 40’ containers. But it's only the first of many vehicles that use a common design language: batteries, motors, computers, sensors, intelligence. 5/

What does this look like in practice? Sensors that can see in super-human ways, intelligence that can navigate complex scenarios, hardware failures that mitigate themselves, vehicles that automatically connect themselves for charging, trucks that arrive on call, work overnight, automatically load and unload, and operate seamlessly within a complex logistics network. 4/

Every single vehicle is going to be rethought in the coming future because every single vehicle is going to be autonomous. The technology is already here and only getting better. We saw the redesigns happen first with robotaxis - Tesla’s Cybercab, Zoox’s solution, the lost but not forgotten Cruise Origin. We’re doing it for trucking. 3/

I’ve worked for the last 20 years on electrification, autonomy, hardware, software, big companies, startups, prototypes, mass production and everything in between. We’re building what we call unified autonomy at @humblerobotics - vehicles designed from the ground up to drive themselves. Our first vehicle is the Humble Hauler. 2/
