Humble, a San Francisco startup founded by an ex-Uber ATG and Waabi engineer, has emerged from stealth with a $24M seed round to build the Humble Hauler — a cabless, fully electric autonomous freight truck. Unlike Aurora or Kodiak's hub-to-hub models, Humble targets dock-to-dock delivery using 360-degree sensor coverage enabled by removing the driver's cab. The autonomy stack relies on vision-language-action models rather than rule-based systems. Eclipse led the round, with investors citing potential 30–50% logistics efficiency gains. The $906B US truck freight market and incoming federal autonomous vehicle legislation provide the commercial backdrop, though Humble has not yet disclosed pilot partners or a commercial timeline.
