Autonomous Trucks
Pilot Flying J and autonomous trucking tech company Kodiak Robotics have opened their first truckport at the Pilot Travel Center in Villa Rica, Georgia. The truckport is a permanent facility on the Pilot Travel Center property. Indeed, Pilot Company announced last August it had made a strategic investment in Kodiak and joined its Board of Directors. “Pilot Company rigorously tests ways to integrate new technologies, including autonomous trucks, to maintain our safety-first focus and continue fueling the trucking industry,” Trama said. Autonomous trucks focus on the long, repeatable highway miles, leaving the more enticing local, first- and last-mile deliveries for professional drivers who can stay closer to home.”
