California thieves steal Nvidia-branded trailers expecting expensive AI hardware; find 40,000 pounds of sand instead
- 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.
