"An autonomous electric hauler that dramatically lowers the cost of freight"
San Francisco autonomous freight startup building the Humble Hauler, an electric, cabless Class 8 self-driving truck.
Humble Robotics is a San Francisco-based autonomous trucking startup founded by former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, developing self-driving Class 8 freight trucks for dock-to-dock commercial logistics. The company's flagship product, the Humble Hauler, is a fully autonomous, all-electric Class 8 truck engineered specifically for autonomy rather than adapted from a human-driven platform. It features a cabless, purpose-built chassis that the company states is roughly 20 percent lighter than a conventional tractor-trailer combination, a top speed of 55 mph, and a maximum range of about 200 miles per charge. The vehicle relies on vision-based AI perception and control systems to navigate highways and execute dock-to-dock deliveries without a human driver, and is designed to back directly into loading docks for unloading. Beyond the vehicle itself, Humble Robotics positions its offering as a full-service freight transport operation rather than a hardware-only product: the company provides round-the-clock remote operational support, charging infrastructure support for its electric fleet, and live battery telemetry and monitoring for fleet operators and shippers. Humble Robotics describes its mission as reimagining ground transportation by applying advanced physical AI to reduce the cost of moving freight, and states it aims to make trucking zero-emission through its electric powertrain approach. The company is led by a compact team that it describes as autonomous-vehicle industry veterans combined with engineers and specialists from robotics and logistics backgrounds. It emerged publicly in mid-2026 as one of several new ventures from Kalanick targeting the freight and logistics sector, entering a competitive field that includes established autonomous trucking developers. The company operates out of a San Francisco headquarters that it characterizes as being close to the center of autonomous-vehicle industry activity. Contact with the company is available through general inquiry and press email addresses, and the company maintains an official LinkedIn company page. As of this research, Humble Robotics has not published detailed information on its website regarding founding date, funding rounds, or investor names, headcount, or physical mailing address, so those fields are left unverified rather than estimated.
