Graham Doorley
Graham Doorley is the Founder and CEO of Terraline, a Fremont-based startup building the first clean-sheet, battery-electric Class 8 long-haul truck with 500+ miles of range. A lifelong car enthusiast with a Physics-Materials Science degree from Carnegie Mellon and a Mechatronics Masters from Stanford, he spent eight years as a senior engineer at Google X and Waymo - where he led the early self-driving truck project that became Waymo Via - before designing Tesla Model S suspension systems. In 2021, he channeled that accumulated expertise into Terraline (originally Solo AVT), assembling a team of Waymo, Tesla, BMW, Ford, Faraday Futures, and Rivian alumni to tackle freight's massive emissions problem with a truck agnostic to whether the driver is human or autonomous.
