Autonomous Trucks
Despite being headquartered in California, autonomous trucking developer Kodiak Robotics is doing its testing and route planning in Texas. In 2012, it approved light-duty autonomous vehicles and trucks weighing less than 10,001 pounds. Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) this week addressed that with its Turnkey Solutions program. Fast Company magazine awarded autonomous truck developers Kodiak Robotics a 2023 Innovation by Design Award for its SensorPod that contains radar, lidar and cameras in the side mirrors. Volvo Trucks North America is working with Linde Canada Inc. on a one-time pilot to import five Volvo FH liquefied natural gas-powered trucks to Canada.
