We founded Kodiak in April 2018 with the belief that a world-class team narrowly focused on long-haul trucking could quickly catch up to the burgeoning self-driving trucking industry, and just as quickly surpass it. We received our first truck in December 2018, and carried our first commercial load from Dallas to Houston just eight months later. Now, two years after our first autonomous loop around our parking lot, we are making disengage-free customer deliveries on the middle mile.
The Kodiak Driver navigated the entire highway portion of our route — 205 miles of Texas highway — for the first time in December. We’ve never been big on publicizing incremental achievements, but this milestone in Kodiak’s history is worth sharing. We posted our first run at 10x speed below.
