Kodiak Robotics develops autonomous driving technology for long-haul trucking, focusing on highway freight with a safety-first commercialization approach.
Kodiak Robotics is an autonomous trucking company founded in 2018 by former Google and Uber self-driving veterans, developing autonomous driving systems purpose-built for long-haul freight. The company has focused exclusively on trucking rather than passenger vehicles, optimizing its technology for the predictable highway driving environment that makes up the majority of commercial freight miles. Kodiak uses a hub-to-hub commercial model where autonomous trucks operate between freight terminals on highways, with human drivers handling the final mile in urban environments. This approach has enabled faster commercialization than full door-to-door autonomy. The company has established freight partnerships with major logistics providers and secured significant DARPA defense contracts for autonomous military logistics. Kodiak raised $250M and has completed over a million autonomous miles on public highways. The company is positioned as a serious contender in autonomous trucking alongside Waymo Via and Aurora as the freight automation market matures.
Adept AI raised $415M to pioneer computer-use AI agents; its core research and agent team moved to Amazon in 2024 in a landmark talent acquisition while the company continues developing ACT-1 for enterprise automation.
Adept AI was founded in 2022 by a team of former OpenAI, DeepMind, and Google Brain researchers to build AI that can take actions on computers — navigating software interfaces, filling forms, and executing multi-step workflows in any application. Its ACT-1 model demonstrated the ability to control web browsers and desktop applications through natural language instructions, pioneering the computer-use agent paradigm that Anthropic later commercialized with Claude's computer use feature.
