HUMAIN and Applied Intuition Partner to Automate Saudi Logistics

The partnership aims to establish the world’s largest autonomous trucking network, moving beyond the confines of data centers to control real-world machinery. By utilizing Applied Intuition’s established Self-Driving System and Vehicle OS, the collaboration intends to address critical workforce constraints and improve fleet utilization. These autonomous systems, already tested in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, will operate continuously to lower transport costs and increase capacity across the Kingdom.

Beyond trucking, the long-term roadmap includes expanding physical AI into ports, mining, agriculture, construction, and robotaxi operations. To support this transition, Applied Intuition has opened a permanent office in Riyadh, focusing on local talent development and high-value job creation. Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, noted that the initiative seeks to set a global benchmark for autonomous freight, while Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis emphasized that the project aligns with the company’s mission to integrate intelligence into a billion machines worldwide.
