Kodiak's unsupervised driverless long-haul delivery trucks will soon hit Texas roads as its partnership with Swedish furniture giant IKEA enters a new phase. Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette joined "Varney & Co. " Tuesday to shed light on the rollout and the technology behind the autonomous trucks. "We're starting with one. We're gonna get that first one out by the end of the year, and then we're gonna start to scale throughout 2027 and beyond," Burnette said. 100 KODIAK DRIVERLESS TRUCKS ARE HEADED FOR PUBLIC ROADS Burnette said IKEA will serve as the launch partner later in the year. "We're doing just over 200-mile trips to start, but nobody in the driver's seat, nobody in [the] cab," Burnette said. Burnette explained that Kodiak provides the AI-powered software that serves as "the brain" behind how the autonomous trucks drive. "We've proven the technology is safe and reliable. We've done a lot of work over the last decade or so to make sure we've covered every contingency, and now we're ready to go," he said. A Kodiak AI Inc. truck sits outside the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York City's Times Square.
