AUMOVIO supplies hardware and software for assisted and automated driving, including hardware for driverless trucks, to vehicle manufacturers and commercial-mobility customers.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
AUMOVIO SE is the former Continental Automotive group sector, spun off from Continental AG and listed independently on 2025-09-18 with roughly 86,000 employees across more than 100 locations, organised into Autonomous & Mobility, Architecture & Connectivity, Safety & Dynamic Control and User Experience. Its autonomy relevance is concrete: it is the hardware partner to Aurora Innovation, alongside NVIDIA, for mass production of autonomous trucking systems from 2027, supplying sensors, automated driving control units, high-performance computers and telematics, with its New Braunfels, Texas plant designated for the Aurora Driver hardware and fallback system. That same plant produced around 13 million ADAS radars in roughly three years with fewer than 500 employees and is being more than doubled in floor space, so AUMOVIO sits in both mass-market ADAS sensing and low-volume high-assurance autonomous-trucking sensing from one line (scored here under the autonomy Systems placement; the Lidar and radar sensing franchise is the same company). H1 2026 adjusted sales fell 8.9 percent to EUR 8.6 billion with adjusted EBIT down 39.8 percent to EUR 157 million at a 1.8 percent margin, and the Autonomous & Mobility segment fell 12.7 percent to EUR 1.4 billion. A EUR 350 million BMW brake-system settlement on 2026-07-30 forced a profit guidance cut but came with more than EUR 1 billion of new BMW orders.

18 facts on file.
Waabi builds autonomous-driving systems through Waabi Driver and is developing and deploying Level 4 autonomous trucks and robotaxis with partners including Uber, Volvo and Aurora.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Waabi is the clearest AV2.0 bet in this batch. Its Physical AI Platform pairs a verifiable end-to-end AI model with an advanced neural simulator so a single model powers both autonomous trucks and robotaxis, the basis of its capital-efficiency argument. Raquel Urtasun founded it in 2021 after serving as chief scientist at Uber ATG, the unit Uber sold to Aurora in 2020, so the January 2026 Uber deal is a reunion. That deal is the defining event: a USD 750 million Series C co-led by Khosla Ventures and G2 Venture Partners, plus roughly USD 250 million in milestone-based capital from Uber to deploy 25,000 or more Waabi Driver-powered robotaxis exclusively on the Uber platform, for total available capital of USD 1 billion and the largest tech fundraise in Canadian history. On trucks, Waabi partners with Volvo Autonomous Solutions, which builds the VNL Autonomous at its Virginia facility with Waabi sensors, compute and driver. The weakness is deployment: commercial pilots in Texas still carry safety drivers, the first closed-course driverless run came in October 2025, and the planned end-2025 driverless public-highway launch slipped by several quarters, attributed to validating the trucks rather than the driver.
