Editorial summaries

Kodiak RoboTruck

Kodiak's RoboTruck runs the Kodiak Driver (L4) on a Peterbilt/PACCAR Class 8 base (a driverless electric Class 8 variant was introduced in 2023). It operates driverless commercially in the Permian Basin oilfield and is the platform for an on-highway long-haul product targeted for the second half of 2026.

There is no consumer price: this is B2B autonomous freight. The verified-vs-claimed nuance: the commercial driverless operation is real but currently domain-specific (oilfield routes); the on-highway long-haul commercialization is a target, not yet a verified deployment. Recorded at commercial maturity.

Plus SuperDrive Autonomous Truck

Plus's autonomous-truck product is the SuperDrive L4 virtual driver, factory-integrated into OEM truck platforms (International LT-series, IVECO S-Way, and Hyundai hydrogen fuel-cell trucks) rather than a standalone branded truck. TRATON selected SuperDrive as its on-highway AV platform in January 2026. There is no consumer price: this is a B2B OEM-integrated autonomy product.

The verified-vs-claimed nuance: although the system is described as L4, it is currently in supervised fleet trials with safety drivers, pre driver-out; full driverless operation is not yet verified. Recorded at pilot maturity.
