Kodiak AI partners with DTL Transport for autonomous produce hauls in California

• Kodiak AI entered a collaboration with DTL Transport to run autonomous trucking deliveries in California under a new DMV testing permit.
• The pilot began Sept. 22, hauling perishable goods between Fresno and a Los Angeles distribution center on a roughly 225-mile route.
• The work follows Kodiak’s heavy-duty autonomous vehicle testing permit issued Aug. 13 under California’s new rules for autonomous truck operations.
• Initial runs keep a human safety driver behind the wheel while the companies evaluate potential impacts on transit times and shipping costs.
• Kodiak plans to start driverless highway operations in Texas by end-2026.
