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.
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.
