Kodiak AI’s safety case supporting its planned driverless long-haul service is 93% complete, with it on track to launch commercially by the end of 2026.

A safety case is a structured argument, backed by evidence, that an autonomous system can operate safely inside a defined operating environment.

That distinction is the part fleets should read closely, because Kodiak is already running driverless trucks.

A second autonomous trucking milestone landed recently, from a different market and on a different metric.

Inceptio Technology, based in Shanghai, said it has passed more than 620 million miles of commercial autonomous driving mileage.
