Autonomous Vehicle Hype Is Back — Humble Robotics Is Bringing It to Freight

Humble Robotics, a cabless, fully autonomous electric freight hauler startup founded by Eyal Cohen, emerged from stealth in April 2026 with $24 million in funding and is now the subject of renewed investor interest in autonomous vehicles, TechCrunch reported July 1. Cohen — a veteran of Otto (acquired by Uber) and Pronto — says vision-model-based perception has finally caught up to the vision for self-driving trucks, building what he calls the simplest possible robotics platform rather than retrofitting a human-driven truck design.
