Autonomous freight technology developer Kodiak Robotics has unveiled an all-electric, self-driving Class 8 truck on display at the ACT Expo this week. The autonomous electric truck is a Peterbilt<\/a> EV upfitted with Kodiak\u2019s \u201cDriver\u201d sensor-pod technology. Check it out.<\/p>\n

Kodiak Robotics<\/a> was founded in 2018 with the purpose of developing an autonomous technology stack that is purpose-built for long-haul trucks in order to make the freight industry safer and more efficient.<\/p>\n

In its progress, Kodiak has been able to establish a unique modular hardware approach that integrates sensors into a holistic sensor-pod structure, optimized for perception and scale. Its self-driving technology is already supporting certain freight customers on highway portions of routes in the southern US, and the company\u2019s software is currently being used to test and deploy autonomous capabilities for the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n

Now, Kodiak has implemented its \u201cDriver\u201d<\/a> autonomous technology stack into an all-electric Class 8 truck \u2013 an EV the company is touting as the \u201cfirst-ever\u201d in terms of size.<\/p>\n
