Kodiak to run 75 driverless trucks for DTL Transport under a per-mile model
From the Robots digest for Oct 29, 2026
What happened: Autonomous-trucking company Kodiak signed a deal with DTL Transport to deploy Kodiak's autonomous driving system in 75 carrier-owned trucks under a per-mile pricing model, starting with planned Sun Belt routes, according to RobotsBeat on Wednesday, October 29, 2026, at about 7:23 AM ET.
What's genuinely new: a commercial deal with named fleet size (75 trucks), the vehicles owned by the carrier rather than the autonomy vendor, and billing by the mile — autonomy sold as a service on someone else's fleet rather than a fixed pilot.
Watch: the first trucks actually on the road, the Sun Belt routes' start date, and whether the per-mile model draws a second carrier.
