I Rode in a Self-Driving Semi. Is Kodiak the Future of Trucking?
Kodiak is gearing up to deploy its fully driverless semi trucks on highways later this year, starting with Ikea. I took a ride to see the autonomous tech in action.

The sooner the better for autonomous vehicles. When more of our vehicles drive themselves, removing the human factor, the fewer accidents we will see.

Honestly it’s crazy that in this day and age, self driving isn’t that big of a deal. What would be more impressive IMHO is if the truck was electric. Why? Long haul trucks are responsible for about 3% of all the carbon dioxide emissions in the USA. To me, eliminating that would be more impressive than eliminating jobs held by truckers. ..

Because they require RAIL.

We could improve the rail network for both freight and people. The whole car dependency is exactly why traffic deaths are high, not whatever lies this COO makes up.

Don’t know, but it doesn’t _have_ to to be useful. Could just have drivers at the end points to handle that.

@shutinalley
October 5, 2026 at 9:39 pm
@aw-2130 Aircraft pallet, or a wooden skid? Either way, they’ll fix it and more. We may not even need pallets with the way automation will change the logistics systems we’re all used to.

Because what I’ve seen they’ve made a Kenworth c580 which is a modified Keller T800, but meant to go off-road. The only good thing about these Kodiak semi trucks is that unlike Aurora, these semi trucks do not have cameras and sensors on the outside of the cab. So what you get is a normal Kenworth t680 and a Peterbilt 567 like shown here in the thumbnail, and those big mirrors are where the sensors are mounted underneath them, but this won’t be a cost-effective way at all to move stuff.

How many Tesla semi’s are currently on the road? What percentage of all trucking? How can almost nothing be pushed aside. The Tesla truck, another Musk failure.
@Neojhun
October 5, 2026 at 3:09 pm
Far more Tesla Semi exist than Autonomous Semi Trucks. Not a good comparison in this case.
@GeektusMaximus

@Neojhun A few hundreds of Telsa semi? A fraction of 1%.

This is bad for the job market.
“Autonomous trucks can actually help with the driver shortage” .. how about making driving a truck actually good for the workers/drivers instead. Better pay, and healthy hours…
@darinherrick9224
October 5, 2026 at 1:59 pm
Well the truth is anything that can save money through automation will be automated. Jobs for the sake of jobs isn’t good.
That said, everyone should get a basic income because there’s no need for everyone to work anymore.
@EliHunt-so2qv
October 5, 2026 at 4:43 pm
@darinherrick9224 NO, WE ARE NOT ALLOWING SEMI TRUCKS THAT DRIVE THEMSELVES TO TAKE OVER! And before you ask why, did you forget what those cars that drive themselves did the last time they were last heard of?!
One of them ran a red light, one even drove into a flooded road in Nashville, Tennessee, etc.

I would like to know about the driver, how long he’s be driving and his opinions on how good the tech is currently, etc. P.S. Anyone keeping track of the “Autonomous Truck” there is also Aurora and Waabi… maybe Tesla Trucks but idk.

@MOTO_909

If you don’t have a driver you don’t have driver rest periods and can run the truck all day and over night when there is less traffic. You can also stop to charge your electric truck for an hour because it’s not like the driver is itching to get back on the road where they make money by the mile not hours. Combined with wireless charging underneath parking spots and you would truly be autonomous outside loading operations at the distribution center and store. It doesn’t have to meet all needs to be useful for a lot of companies.

@hackberry4009 If we stopped creating new things because of “jobs” we’d still have people picking crops by hand and weaving fabrics on manual looms. We could help them find new jobs but that’s not the type of leadership we have right now in many places.

I see these autonomous trucks like PCs. They are tools and will make transportation easier overall.

PCs only last 2-4 years. A truck and a human can last 20+ years.

Perception is the real bottleneck, not the algorithm. Rain, blown tires, debris, stranded vehicles. Curious how their validation handles the weird edge cases. I’ve been fighting sim-to-real transfer myself, so I know how ugly this gets.

More job loss for people and more cameras for the cops to spy on you with. We will have no future in this country.

@iam1hamid

The project definitely looks impressive, but one concern is the extra traffic it could attract to the surrounding roads. Adding road capacity can sometimes create “induced demand,” where easier driving encourages more car trips and eventually brings congestion back. In growing areas, even a relatively small increase in daily vehicle trips can put extra pressure on nearby intersections, local streets, and commute times. Hopefully the project also includes strong public-transit and traffic-management planning, otherwise the traffic problem could simply shift from one location to another.
@AJAJ-h8v2e

They will eventually replace drivers. However, these should be use to assist drivers like an auto pilot is use to assist a airline pilot. There should still be a driver on board at all times.
@MEXPRG
October 7, 2026 at 11:02 am
I don’t desire it, yet until the 1st accidental death and major road disaster these trucks cause, these companies will not be happy until they replace and remove all truckers from the roads.
