Two Nvidia-branded trailers belonging to autonomous-trucking company PlusAI were stolen from outside its warehouse in Fremont, California, on September 23, 2026. The trailers were associated with PlusAI's work with Nvidia on autonomous-driving technology, but instead of carrying GPUs, servers or other expensive AI equipment, each contained about 20,000 pounds of sand. The pair therefore carried roughly 40,000 pounds, or 20 tons, of sand. PlusAI uses the material as simulated cargo during autonomous-truck testing to reproduce the weight of real freight. The trailers were later discovered in nearby Newark after an acquaintance of a PlusAI executive spotted them, while police continued investigating the theft.
