KODIAK AI INC. O.N.

Kodiak AI is partnering with AMD and equipping its seventh-generation autonomous trucks with AMD EPYC CPUs to aggregate LiDAR, camera and radar sensor data and support the Kodiak Driver for route planning and localization. The company says it is the first to deploy EPYC processors in a hardware platform for driverless trucks, highlighting the new CPUs’ higher clock rates and energy efficiency. Kodiak already operates a driverless fleet in the Permian Basin, plans to run driverless trucks on public highways later this year, and sells its technology to multiple logistics and industrial partners under a Driver-as-a-Service model. » Altro su de.investing.com

Kodiak AI is conducting a pilot to test its autonomous driving technology for timber transport for West Fraser in Alberta. In the first phase, due to start later this year, runs from forest areas to a processing facility will be tested to evaluate a potential commercial deployment of driverless trucks. The project is Kodiak’s first international operation and aims to alleviate driver shortages and increase safety on remote logging roads. According to the report, Kodiak has more liquid assets than debt, and analysts forecast strong revenue growth for the year. » Altro su de.investing.com

Kodiak, in partnership with DriveOhio, successfully completed a pilot program for autonomous trucks in Ohio and demonstrated its level‑4 technology on Interstate 70. Tests at the Transportation Research Center and demonstrations for traffic authorities showed maneuvers in construction zones, overtaking, evasive reactions and responses to pedestrian crossings. The project marks Kodiak’s first operational expansion outside the Sunbelt region and extends its operating area in the Midwest in addition to Texas and the southern US. » Altro su de.investing.com
