How Kodiak uses AI and probabilistic risk assessment to measure autonomous trucking safety

June 17, 2026 by Sam Francis

Rapid AI advances now enable engineers to develop autonomous driving technology faster than ever, but the true frontier of autonomous driving is the ability to couple those advances with demonstrable and rigorous safety.

Increasingly, depth and rigor is achieved not through the biggest budgets nor the largest fleets, but by distilling the most precise insights from real-world testing and simulation that assure autonomous systems can handle rare and unusual scenarios, the kind that may only occur once in a lifetime of driving.

Autonomous truck maker Kodiak has met this challenge by adopting two tools, including one we created with the help of AI, that accelerate the pace, depth and precision of our safety engineering. They go beyond traditional approaches and deliver clear, compelling evidence of the Kodiak Driver’s safety.

Why Semi-Truck Accident Claims Bring Unique Legal Hurdles

May 21, 2026 by Sam Francis

The Bronx sits at the center of some of New York City’s busiest transportation routes, with major highways carrying a constant flow of commercial traffic through densely populated neighborhoods every day.

Delivery trucks, freight carriers, and long-haul semi-trucks move through the borough at all hours, sharing crowded roads with commuters, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians.

When a collision involving a large commercial truck occurs, the aftermath is often far more serious than a standard car accident, leaving victims with severe injuries, mounting medical costs, and uncertainty about how to move forward.

Bot Auto completes driverless commercial truck delivery between Houston and Dallas

May 14, 2026 by David Edwards

Autonomous trucking company Bot Auto says it has completed what it describes as the first fully humanless commercial over-the-road truckload delivery in the United States, moving freight between Houston and Dallas without a driver, in-cab observer, or remote operator controlling the vehicle.

The Houston-based company said the autonomous truck completed a 230-mile overnight route from Riggy’s Truck Parking in northeast Houston to Safe Stop in Hutchins, south of Dallas, delivering a commercial shipment booked through logistics provider Ryan Transportation.

According to Bot Auto, the run was conducted without a safety driver onboard and without “low-latency remote human feedback”, which the company says differentiates the operation from earlier autonomous trucking demonstrations and pilot programs.

Kodiak and Roehl Transport begin autonomous freight operations between Dallas and Houston

May 9, 2026 by David Edwards

Kodiak AI, a provider of physical AI-powered autonomous vehicle technology, has announced it is autonomously hauling freight with Roehl Transport, one of America’s leading truckload carriers.

Starting last month, trucks equipped with the Kodiak Driver, Kodiak’s autonomous system, began hauling freight between Dallas and Houston four times roundtrip per week for Roehl Transport.

Don Burnette, founder and CEO of Kodiak, says: “Working with Roehl Transport reflects a shared commitment to safety in trucking. [Read more…] about Kodiak and Roehl Transport begin autonomous freight operations between Dallas and Houston

Inside Torc Robotics: How autonomous trucking is moving toward commercial reality

May 8, 2026 by David Edwards

Autonomous trucking has long been viewed as one of the most commercially promising – and technically demanding – applications of artificial intelligence and robotics.

Unlike passenger robotaxis, long-haul freight routes offer more structured operating environments and clearer economic incentives, making them a key battleground in the race toward large-scale autonomy.

Among the companies working to bring self-driving trucks into commercial operation, Torc Robotics has emerged as one of the sector’s strongest players. [Read more…] about Inside Torc Robotics: How autonomous trucking is moving toward commercial reality

Bosch begins delivering hardware to Kodiak as autonomous trucking moves toward production scale

May 1, 2026 by David Edwards

Kodiak AI, a provider of physical AI-powered autonomous vehicle technology, has announced that Bosch, a global technology and services giant, has begun delivering critical hardware components to Kodiak as part of the companies’ autonomous driving technology strategic collaboration.

Kodiak is actively testing and validating camera samples from Bosch and has completed early prototype sensor integrations into Kodiak SensorPods, the company’s proprietary hardware modules that house its autonomous driving sensors. Kodiak is also actively evaluating vehicle actuation components from Bosch.

Since announcing their collaboration in January 2026, Bosch and Kodiak have moved quickly from strategic alignment to hands-on engineering execution. [Read more…] about Bosch begins delivering hardware to Kodiak as autonomous trucking moves toward production scale

Humble Robotics emerges from stealth to bring autonomous electric haulers to real-world freight

April 23, 2026 by David Edwards

Humble Robotics has emerged from stealth with what it describes as a “revolutionary new vehicle”: a fully autonomous, cabless, electric hauler designed for cost-efficient freight transportation.

The company also revealed it has raised $24 million in seed funding, led by Eclipse with additional participation by Energy Impact Partners and others.

The Humble Hauler is an entirely new take on the classic tractor-trailer combo, designed from the ground up with modern technology. [Read more…] about Humble Robotics emerges from stealth to bring autonomous electric haulers to real-world freight

Interview with Volvo Autonomous Solutions: Driverless trucks are upon us

April 15, 2026 by David Edwards

As the global logistics industry grapples with persistent driver shortages, rising operating costs, and increasing pressure to improve efficiency, autonomous trucking is beginning to move beyond promise and into early-stage commercial reality.

For much of the past decade, the technology has been described as “almost ready” – a phrase that has invited both optimism and skepticism.

Today, that characterization is starting to shift. Autonomous trucks are now hauling real freight on public roads, albeit within limited routes and often still under human supervision, marking a transitional phase between pilot programs and true large-scale deployment.
