Gatik Becomes First U.S. Company to Operate Fully Driverless Trucks at Scale for Commercial Deliveries

Validated for safety and proven in commerce, Gatik’s freight-only trucks now complete daily deliveries on public roads. These trucks operate without a driver or safety observer. They serve Fortune 50 retailers in Texas, Arkansas, and Arizona. This deployment represents the first sustained, at-scale autonomous trucking operation in the United States

Mountain View, California, Jan. 27, 2026 – Gatik has become the first company in North America to deploy fully driverless trucks in commercial operations at scale, with $600 million in contracted revenue and daily deliveries for Fortune 50 retailers with no human driver or safety observer behind the wheel. 

This milestone marks a new era for autonomous trucking. The company has moved the technology beyond limited pilots. It now operates sustained, revenue-generating deployments that strengthen regional supply chains. Since launching freight-only operations in mid-2025, Gatik has completed 60,000 fully driverless orders without incident. The company operates day and night on highways and surface streets. At the center of these operations is Gatik Driver™. This is the company’s third-generation autonomous system. It combines state-of-the-art AI with purpose-built hardware. As a result, it delivers high-frequency driverless performance in commercial operations.

Gatik’s fully driverless operations combine scale, operational range, and sustained commercial deployment. This combination is unprecedented in the autonomous trucking sector. To date, the company has logged more than 2,000 hours of driverless operation across multiple logistics networks. It has completed over 10,000 driverless miles on public roads. Some routes extend up to 400 miles and connect dense networks of distribution centers, warehouses, and retail stores. These results demonstrate Gatik’s leadership in deploying autonomous trucking at commercial scale. They also show the company’s ability to meet growing demand for safe, reliable, and cost-efficient freight capacity.

“Autonomous trucking is no longer a promise. It’s a business,” said Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik. “With more than $600 million in contracted revenue, Gatik has proved that autonomous trucking is not only possible but commercially viable, and the fierce demand for our solution reflects how quickly this new model will reshape the future of logistics. Today, we are operating fully driverless trucks across multiple logistics networks and markets, serving the largest retailers and CPG companies in the country. This consistency in real-world operations is a turning point for autonomous logistics.”

Gatik operates in the Dallas–Fort Worth region of Texas. It also operates in the Phoenix Metro area of Arizona and Northwest Arkansas. Its 26- and 30-foot trucks run nearly 24 hours a day. They transport ambient, refrigerated, and frozen goods between distribution centers and stores. This increases delivery frequency. It reduces costs. It helps keep shelves stocked. The company is now preparing to expand driverless operations into new U.S. markets. This expansion will help retailers meet rising demand. It will also address persistent driver shortages and delivery costs through safe, scalable automation.

Gatik launched freight-only operations after completing a successful independent review of critical components of its Safety Assessment Framework. Globally recognized independent testing, inspection, and certification organizations conducted this review. These organizations have extensive experience in autonomous system safety assurance. The company also underwent rigorous review by state and federal transportation regulators. Before launch, Gatik conducted briefings with U.S. Department of Transportation agencies. These included the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The company also engaged with state agencies. These included Departments of Transportation, Departments of Public Safety, and Departments of Motor Vehicles in Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas. Additionally, Gatik conducted training sessions for first responders and local stakeholders. These sessions formed part of its community-readiness strategy.

Gatik’s achievement also builds on its ongoing collaboration with Isuzu Motors Limited (TSE: 7202), under which Gatik integrates its SAE Level 4 autonomous driving system with Isuzu’s medium-duty platforms. This collaboration supports Gatik’s current autonomous operations, while Isuzu and Gatik continue to advance preparations for a mass-production autonomous-ready vehicle program to support scalable autonomous logistics.

“We are pleased to see Gatik begin Level 4 driverless operations using Isuzu medium-duty trucks,” said Hiroshi Sato, Senior Executive Officer and Vice President, Engineering Division, Isuzu Motors Limited. “This represents an important step in bringing autonomous driving technologies into commercial logistics operations. Through our collaboration with Gatik, Isuzu is contributing reliable vehicle platforms to support this progress and continuing preparations for future autonomous-ready vehicle programs.”

Currently, Gatik deploys autonomous trucks commercially in Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, Nebraska, and Ontario, Canada. The company plans to scale rapidly in additional markets.
