Kodiak is using Vay’s remote driving tech in its self-driving trucks
Kodiak Robotics has partnered with driverless car-sharing startup Vap to bring a remote-driving system into its self-driving trucks operation.
The two companies, which announced a partnership Wednesday, have been working together since last year when Kodiak’s self-driving trucks began making driverless deliveries for Atlas Energy Solutions in the oil-rich Permian Basin of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. That means the underlying automated driving system is still active and setting limits on what the remote human driver can do if they begin navigating the self-driving truck, at low speeds, through a construction zone or to a new drop-off point. Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette said its branded “assisted autonomy” system gives the company more flexibility to deliver customers’ freight in a greater range of locations and scenarios.
