Meet Bubba. The AI Voice Assistant Built for Truckers

When it comes to trucking technology, most of us have learned the hard way that promises are cheap and real help is rare. That’s why, when I sat down with Tapan Chaudhari, the founder of Hey Bubba (Bubba.ai) in Austin, Texas, this week, I was skeptical.

Autonomous trucking pioneer Chris Urmson and relative latecomer Raquel Urtasun see AI as critical to making autonomous trucking successful. But they do not see eye to eye on the best way to apply it.

Urmson led Google’s Self Driving Car Project that eventually became Waymo. He co-founded Aurora Innovation in 2017.
