Kodiak is a commercial-route-running anchor of the autonomous-trucking cohort, on the new-trucking side of the axis, and a clean example of why verification posture matters: commercial driverless is true, but the domain (oilfield) is narrower than the on-highway long-haul the headlines imply.

Real-world status
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. The verified-vs-claimed nuance: the commercial driverless operation is real but currently domain-specific (private oilfield routes); the on-highway long-haul commercialization is a stated target, not yet a verified deployment.
⚠
Verified-vs-claimed: the commercial driverless operation is domain-specific (private oilfield routes). The on-highway long-haul product is targeted for H2 2026, which is a stated roadmap target, not a verified deployment. Aggregator framing that reads 'commercial driverless' as 'driverless on public highways' overstates the posture.
