Kodiak AI said Thursday that Bosch has begun delivering critical hardware for its autonomous trucks. The move comes just four months after the companies announced their partnership in January.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is now testing camera samples from Bosch. It has also completed early prototype integrations into its SensorPods. Those are the proprietary modules that house the company\u2019s autonomous driving sensors. Kodiak is further evaluating vehicle actuation components from the supplier.<\/p>\n

Hardware Work Accelerates <\/p>\n

The partnership aims to create a production-ready autonomous platform. It will also support high-volume deployment of trucks running the Kodiak Driver. Two key factors needed for commercialization and scaling ambitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quick transition to tangible engineering progress underscores the velocity behind this collaboration,\u201d said Don Burnette, founder and CEO of Kodiak AI. \u201cBy validating Bosch\u2019s sensors and components, we are deep into the \u2018how\u2019 of high-volume production. Our rapid progress is proving we have the shared ability to execute on the roadmap to industrialize the Kodiak Driver at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bosch ranks as the world\u2019s largest automotive supplier. It brings a broad portfolio that includes automotive-grade sensors and other components. Such partnerships are critical for self-driving truck companies that need reliable hardware at commercial scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur progress highlights our readiness to move from strategic alignment to industrial execution as we work to bring scaled autonomous trucking to fruition,\u201d said Peter Tadros, regional president of Power Solutions at Bosch North America. \u201cThis cooperation has accelerated and deepened our understanding of real-world autonomous vehicle requirements and helped us forge a path for scaling redundant autonomous driving technology for the entire ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kodiak\u2019s SensorPods now feature prototype sensor integrations developed with Bosch components. The platform combines specialized hardware, firmware and software interfaces needed to run the Kodiak Driver on trucks. The system can be installed on the assembly line or through an upfitter.<\/p>\n

Public Markets and Permian Operations <\/p>\n

Kodiak went public<\/a> in September through a merger with special-purpose acquisition company Ares Acquisition Corp. II. The combined company was valued at about $2.5 billion. Kodiak currently operates a fleet of autonomous trucks in the Permian Basin under an agreement<\/a> with Atlas Energy Solutions.<\/p>\n

Kodiak\u2019s SensorPod technology with Bosch hardware samples will be on display May 3-6 at the ACT Expo in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
