The Kodiak Driver is a unified platform driving autonomy forward across trucking.
A single solution for trucking applications, the Kodiak Driver combines AI-powered software with modular hardware to enable scalable, real-world autonomy.
One system. Many vehicles. Built for deployment.
The Kodiak Driver combines advanced AI and modular hardware in a system designed to integrate seamlessly across vehicle platforms—enabling scalable autonomy in real-world conditions.
SensorPods
Housing LiDAR, radar, and cameras for full 360° coverage, SensorPods are field-swappable in minutes and designed to integrate easily onto most vehicles.
Redundant by Design
Designed to be vehicle-agnostic—compatible with platforms that meet minimum specifications—our system includes custom-designed safety compute and redundant power, steering, and braking, engineered to stay in control even when components fail.
AI Behind the Wheel
A single AI driver powers autonomy across applications—combining multi-sensor perception, deep learning, and real-world testing to navigate complex environments with confidence.
Adaptability
Autonomy isn’t one-size-fits-all. The Kodiak Driver is engineered to support diverse vehicle platforms, trailer types, and operating conditions—meeting the needs of real fleets in the real world.
Learn how the Kodiak Driver brings autonomy to life
Our SensorPods combine LiDAR, radar, and cameras to give the Kodiak Driver a detailed view of the driving environment. They’re designed to be swapped in the field—quicker than changing a tire, with no specialized training—keeping vehicles moving and maximizing uptime. Purpose-built for manufacturing, maintenance, and daily operational use, SensorPods are easy to integrate across different vehicle types and engineered to perform in unforgiving environments.
Inspired by human drivers.
In our pursuit of building the world's safest driver, we took inspiration from methods used in training human drivers to navigate various environments and challenges.
The Kodiak Driver uses a blend of short and long range sensors to anticipate how the road might evolve - enabling forward planning.
At Kodiak, it’s safety first—and always.
Safety is the foundation of everything we build. It’s not an afterthought—it’s the driving force behind what we do and why we do it. We validate our technology through a disciplined combination of on-road testing, simulation, and structured analysis. This process spans millions of autonomous and simulated miles, helping us understand how the Kodiak Driver performs across a wide range of real and edge-case scenarios.
Culture & Safety Management System
Safety is the core value at Kodiak, embedded into how we design technology, operate vehicles, and make decisions across the company. Our Safety Management System (SMS) supports this mindset with a structured, four-pillar framework that integrates safety principles, processes, and practices throughout our operations.
Engineered to Drive Safely
From the ground up, the Kodiak Driver is designed for safety. Through extensive design, analysis, verification, and validation, our vehicles are built to operate safely in normal conditions as well as when faults arise.
Manufacturing & Quality
Safety starts long before any vehicle is on the road. Our quality management system is designed to touch every part of the manufacturing process, from suppliers all the way to control processes for uplift and the commissioning of vehicles.
Operationally Safe
From driver hiring and training to human-machine interface and regulatory compliance, we are focused on following safety best-practices at every step. Our 24/7 monitoring ensures all operations run smoothly, be it inspections, maintenance, or our incident response processes.
Vigilant on Cybersecurity
Protecting Kodiak’s self-driving system from hackers and other bad actors is critical. We do this by minimizing the number of data entry points, isolating safety-critical functions from external communications ports, and securing both on- and off-vehicle infrastructure with end-to-end encryption.
Field Monitoring & Continuous Improvement
No matter how fast we meet milestones, or by how far we exceed requirements, we’re always taking concrete steps to get even better. Daily software releases are tested in simulation as well as in structured on-road tests, allowing us to frequently assess risk and immediately take any corrective action needed.
