Editorial summaries
Bot Auto Autonomous Truck
Bot Auto's autonomous Class 8 truck is a Freightliner Cascadia retrofitted with sensors and redundant systems, operated by Bot Auto as its own motor carrier. It ran what is reported as America's first fully humanless commercial over-the-road truckload (Houston to Dallas) in April 2026, which places it at the most driver-out end of the autonomous-trucking verification spectrum: no human in the cab on a commercial run. There is no consumer price: this is B2B autonomous freight. Recorded at commercial maturity on the verified humanless commercial run; Bot Auto is an early-stage company (Houston, founded by an ex-TuSimple founder) still raising growth capital.
Gatik Autonomous Box Truck
Gatik's autonomous box truck is a Class 6/7 medium-duty vehicle (Isuzu FTR chassis, Cummins B6.7 powertrain, refrigerated/cold-chain boxes) running the Gatik Driver (L4) on fixed middle-mile routes, purpose-built with redundancy for driverless operation. There is no consumer price: this is B2B middle-mile autonomous freight. The verified-vs-claimed nuance worth recording: Gatik is explicitly NOT a Class 8 long-haul tractor: it is a medium-duty middle-mile box truck running short, fixed, repeatable routes, a different and more constrained autonomy problem than on-highway long-haul. Recorded at commercial maturity.
