Kodiak Targets Dallas–Houston for Driverless Trucks

The company says its autonomous trucks are completing the I-45 run without a safety observer taking control. It plans to remove the observer by the end of 2026.

Kodiak AI has chosen the Dallas–Houston corridor for its first driverless highway freight service, which it plans to launch by the end of 2026.

For now, a safety observer remains in the cab. But Kodiak says its trucks have been completing deliveries between its Lancaster, Texas, hub and Houston without the observer taking control, including on the surface streets at either end of the Interstate 45 route.

The 219-mile lane is familiar ground for Kodiak. Since 2019, it has hauled freight between Dallas and Houston with safety drivers aboard, logging more than 3.5 million autonomous miles on the route, according to the company.
