After four years of testing autonomous freight with a safety driver behind the wheel, Ikea is preparing to go fully driverless in Texas using Kodiak’s autonomous driving technology.
The launch comes as autonomous freight moves beyond small-scale pilots and into day-to-day operations.
What driverless freight could mean for Ikea With Ikea, Kodiak is taking that technology from an industrial setting to a major interstate freight lane.
Other companies expand driverless freight Retailers and consumer brands are increasingly using autonomous trucks for middle-mile routes.
More recently, in June, PepsiCo signed a multiyear agreement with Gatik to expand autonomous freight across its North American supply chain.
