# Bot Auto Autonomous Truck: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Bot Auto ran what is reported as America's first fully humanless commercial OTR truckload (Houston-Dallas, April 2026), operating as its own motor carrier. B2B, no consumer price.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer price. Bot Auto operates autonomous freight as its own motor carrier, a B2B operation, so DEPLOY records zero price points.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

This is B2B autonomous freight, not a consumer product. Bot Auto operates a Freightliner Cascadia retrofit as its own motor carrier; it ran a fully humanless commercial truckload (Houston-Dallas) in April 2026.

## Status

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, placing it at the most driver-out end of the autonomous-trucking verification spectrum: no human in the cab on a commercial run. Bot Auto is an early-stage company (Houston, founded by an ex-TuSimple founder) still raising growth capital, so the milestone is a verified run rather than a sustained at-scale operation.
