\nThis program is designed to allow autonomous trucks to pre-clear roadside inspections, streamlining interactions between these trucks and law enforcement at fixed inspection sites.\nThe Enhanced Inspections program, which was approved by CVSA in September 2022, requires a CVSA-certified inspector to conduct a thorough inspection of an autonomous truck combination.\nBy participating in the Enhanced Inspection program and following the approved process, autonomous trucks will not be subject to routine inspections at weigh stations and other inspection sites.\nKodiak Robotics is working with regulators and Drivewyze to expand the program to other states, further demonstrating the feasibility of commercial vehicle inspections for autonomous trucks using existing frameworks and infrastructure.\nBy successfully implementing the Enhanced Inspections program, Kodiak Robotics is contributing to the ongoing development of safe and efficient autonomous truck operations.
