Autonomous Truck Test Spans Continent

Kodiak Robotics recently completed a commercial run between Texas, California, and Florida. The outing spanned 5,600 miles round trip and was completed in partnership with 10 Roads Express, a provider for the U.S. Postal Service.

The route ran from San Antonio, Texas, to San Francisco to Jacksonville, Florida, then back to San Antonio, taking 114 hours, according to the company.

“We are focused on servicing routes that fit the real-world needs of our customers,” said Don Burnette, ounder and CEO of Kodiak, in a prepared statement. “10 Roads Express’s network of long length-of-haul routes makes it an ideal partner for Kodiak. Our unique lightweight mapping system allowed us to expand into Florida in a fraction of the time it would take to build traditional AV maps, enabling us to service some of the nation’s busiest coast-to-coast freight lanes. This expansion further demonstrates the scalability and flexibility of our autonomous solution, the Kodiak Driver.”
