Kodiak receives California drivered autonomous-truck permit
California's DMV granted Kodiak a heavy-duty autonomous-vehicle testing permit that requires a safety driver.
Evidence notes
- The permit authorises autonomous truck testing on California roads with a human safety driver behind the wheel.
- It is the first stage of California's phased permit process and is not a driver-out deployment authorisation.
Company context
Kodiak AI develops the Kodiak Driver, a vehicle-agnostic autonomy system for commercial trucking, industrial transport and defence ground vehicles.
