Language models can learn from the open internet. Where does Physical AI get its ground truth? Unlike digital AI, autonomous machines need data grounded in real-world behavior, 3D environments, and complex decision-making. That kind of data is much harder to produce at scale. This blog, “Closing the Ground-Truth Gap in Physical AI”, explores why this ground-truth gap matters and how Data Factory, part of our HyperFoundry™ Physical AI development platform, turns real-world driving into machine-generated ground truth, from 3D scene labels and reasoning traces to reconstructed environments.

Another step forward for PlusAI as we advance toward our goal of commercializing autonomous trucking. Thanks to Robotics and Automation News for the coverage. roboticsandautomationnews.co…

“The road gives you the scenarios. Simulation lets you test them again and again.” That was one takeaway from PlusAI COO and Co-Founder Shawn Kerrigan’s discussion at HumanX Amsterdam. For autonomous trucking, we believe real-world driving experience and simulation are not either/or. One can capture the social complexity of driving, and the other helps validate the AI driver against rare and challenging scenarios at scale.

Thank you to Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (AVIA) for hosting a great Autonomy Summit in Austin. @theavindustry PlusAI CEO and Co-Founder David Liu joined Dan Van Alstine, former President and COO of Ruan Transportation Management Systems and a member of PlusAI’s Safety and Policy Advisory Council, for a fireside chat on the path to commercializing autonomous trucking. Key takeaways: 🚛 We believe autonomous trucking is moving from demos toward deployment, and expect the harder challenge to be scaling safely and reliably inside real freight operations. 🚛 Safety must be built on evidence, which could include structured safety cases, rigorous validation, and transparent reporting on readiness. 🚛 Commercial scale requires collaboration across AI developers, OEMs, fleet operators, regulators, and the broader freight ecosystem. 🚛 We expect clear regulatory frameworks will be important for scaling across the US.

PlusAI and Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp have filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with our previously announced proposed business combination. This filing marks an important milestone toward completion of the transaction and PlusAI’s planned public listing. Transaction expected to provide PlusAI with capital to advance the targeted 2027 commercial launch of factory-built autonomous trucks powered by SuperDrive™.

At IAA TRANSPORTATION, one question kept coming up: autonomous trucking is getting closer to commercial deployment, but what does it take to move from launch to real scale? As PlusAI COO and Co-Founder Shawn Kerrigan put it: “What will be really exciting is as we go from that launch phase to the scale phase.” We believe that at that point, we will move from the deployment of tens or hundreds to potentially thousands of autonomous trucks. That shift brings a different set of challenges: factory-built vehicle integration, validation across truck platforms, global operating environments and regulatory consistency. We pulled together a few takeaways from Shawn’s discussion with leaders from Bosch, Kodiak and Volvo Autonomous Solutions at IAA Transportation 2026. Have a read: plus.ai/news-and-insights/20….

Yes, there really were 40,000 pounds of sand in those trailers. And yes, there’s a reason. 👇

Safety is foundational to bringing Physical AI into the real world. At PlusAI, this is especially important for autonomous trucking, where AI systems must be validated across hardware, software, AI behavior, and operating environments. We’re excited to work alongside NVIDIA and the broader ecosystem to help advance safe, real-world autonomy. @NVIDIADRIVE

We’ve been named to the 2027 FreightTech 100 by @FreightWaves! This recognition highlights the growing role of AI and autonomy in the future of freight. At PlusAI, we’re focused on bringing factory-built autonomous trucks into real commercial operations through our AI-based virtual driver software. Thank you to FreightWaves for including us. freightwaves.com/news/freigh…

This National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we want to recognize the professional drivers who keep freight moving every day. Thank you for keeping our roads, supply chains, and communities moving.

We recently welcomed a group from Scania Brazil to PlusAI for a thoughtful exchange on autonomous trucking and real-world Physical AI. As PlusAI prepares for the targeted 2027 commercial launch of factory-built autonomous trucks, conversations across the global commercial vehicle ecosystem are important to understanding how autonomous technology can support safer, more efficient freight operations in diverse markets. Thank you to the Scania Brazil team for visiting and for the engaging discussion.

Responsible autonomous trucking deployment requires clear rules, practical planning, and continued engagement with regulators. PlusAI’s Earl Adams Jr. shared his perspective with @FreightWaves Thomas Wasson on why regulatory clarity matters as the industry prepares for commercial scale.

Thank you, @Nasdaq, for celebrating with us! Grateful for our team, partners, and investors as PlusAI builds physical AI into all the machines around us, starting with factory-built autonomous trucks.

Trust is essential to the future of autonomous vehicles. Earl Adams Jr., PlusAI’s VP of Public Policy and Regulatory Affairs, will speak at UN ESCAP’s Regional Conference on Autonomous Vehicles in Asia and the Pacific during the Day 2 session, “Building Trust in Autonomous Vehicles: Safety, Data Governance, Ethics, and Cybersecurity.” Register here: lnkd.in/g59yXSwr.

PlusAI is proud to be part of Arm Total Design for Physical AI. Delivering Physical AI at scale means getting increasingly complex technologies across the technology stack to work together, from cloud and AI software to compute, operating systems, sensors, tools and devices. Today, many of these technologies are still developed and validated independently, creating integration complexity as companies move toward complete, production-ready systems. That’s where this program matters. By bringing the ecosystem together means partners can collaborate on how solutions that are built, optimized and validated, helping reduce integration complexity and accelerate deployment. We’re looking forward to working alongside Arm and the wider ecosystem to help move the next generation of Physical AI systems forward.
