Autonomous Trucks
Privately held autonomous trucking developer Kodiak Robotics is considering a partnership with Navistar to integrate their Kodiak Driver system into Navistar’s trucks. Kodiak has recently received a large order for its autonomous system from Loadsmith, which had originally planned to use TuSimple’s autonomous system. Navistar, on the other hand, has remained silent about its plans for autonomous trucking since ending its partnership with TuSimple. Burnette considers Navistar a great candidate for a partnership, given their previous work with TuSimple and their experience in autonomous technology. They are still evaluating their options and exploring potential partnerships in the autonomous trucking space.
