SAN ANTONIO — Autonomous truck developer Kodiak Robotics this summer is expanding its routes, adding a Dallas-to-San Antonio run. Mountain View, Calif.-based Kodiak Robotics currently runs trucks daily, for an undisclosed freight carrier, along heavily traveled I-45 between Houston and Dallas.

Kodiak Robotics believes its system is superior because the cameras, sensors, and radar are always monitoring the road, and its maps can be updated continuously.
