Kodiak AI signed a binding agreement with DTL Transport to deploy the Kodiak Driver in 75 driverless trucks owned and operated by DTL, the first publicly announced definitive deal by an interstate carrier to run driverless trucks in its own fleet. DTL will pay a per-mile fee under the Driver-As-A-Service model, with driverless service launching on I-10 between Dallas and El Paso and I-20 between Dallas and Atlanta across the Sun Belt. The deal follows a September pilot in which Kodiak autonomously hauled perishable freight 225 miles between Fresno and Los Angeles, the first autonomous Class 8 commercial delivery in California under its new DMV testing permit.
