Kodiak AI and Roehl Transport begin autonomous freight operations between Dallas and Houston, with trucks completing four roundtrips per week

Starting last month, trucks equipped with the Kodiak Driver began hauling freight between Dallas and Houston four times roundtrip per week for Roehl Transport.

In October 2025, the Kodiak Driver earned a VERA (Visually Enhanced Risk Assessment) score of 98 out of 100, tied for the highest recorded score in an independent evaluation by Nauto examining over 1,000 commercial fleets.

Kodiak is working toward launching driverless operations by the end of 2026 and currently operates a fleet of 20 self-driving trucks deployed by customer Atlas Energy Solutions in West Texas's Permian Basin as of the end of 2025.
