45. Self-Driving For The Long Haul with Kodiak Robotics

Kodiak Robotics is delivering more than freight, it’s delivering the future. We spoke with Andreas Wendel, Vice President of Engineering at Kodiak Robotics, to discuss how they became a developer of reliable, highway-tested self-driving long haul trucks and the elements required to develop safe vehicles that perform consistently, delivering freight to commercial customers with a 100% on-time delivery record.   Discover the difference between range of visibility and range of confidence across cameras, lidar and radar, and why this three-pronged approach allows Kodiak to develop the software and technology that enables zero disengagements across 800 miles.   Interested in learning more about the future of self-driving long-haul trucking?
