Kodiak expects to deploy driverless trucks for long haul by end of the year

Kodiak AI, Inc., a provider of Physical AI-powered autonomous driving technology, recently said it remains on track to launch driverless long-haul commercial service by the end of the year.

The company said its Autonomy Readiness Measure (ARM) for long-haul driverless operations reached 93% at the end of August, up from 91% at the end of July.

The increase to 93% reflects consistent progress in the remaining development, testing and validation activities required to safely launch the Kodiak Driver into long-haul driverless service.

We expect to complete the safety case before year’s end and launch driverless long-haul service."

The Permian Basin is the oil field of west Texas where Kodiak trucks are hauling frack sand.
