Editorial summaries

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.

Semi

The Tesla Semi is a Class-8 battery-electric heavy-duty truck (about 500 miles of range). It is in commercial fleet use, human-driven, not autonomous: PepsiCo has run a multi-site fleet since December 2022, with ArcBest and DHL pilots. Tesla announced $150,000 to $180,000 at the 2017 reveal but has not published confirmed current pricing, and its volume-production target (2026) has repeatedly slipped. Autonomy is a roadmap claim only; Tesla removed FSD/Autopilot references from Semi.
