Kodiak, Verizon team on autonomous truck connectivity
Kodiak AI and Verizon Business have reached an agreement to bring Verizon connectivity and IoT data capabilities to Kodiak’s driverless trucking solutions.
As part of the deal, Verizon is providing 5G telematics and ThingSpace IoT management solutions to support Kodiak in managing the massive volume of data generated by its driverless trucks.
Verizon connectivity will enable Kodiak’s driverless vehicles to communicate with Assisted Autonomy drivers and to send mission-critical communications between vehicles and command centers.
“Our autonomous driver as a service business model requires highly reliable, low-latency communications for a number of different data transport and management needs,” said Don Burnette, founder and CEO of Kodiak. “This is physical AI at work to enable up to 24/7 driverless operations, and Verizon’s cellular and IoT capabilities provide the backbone that helps Kodiak safely scale its business and deliver for our customers.”
Verizon created this video to illustrate how it is assisting Kodiak’s autonomous trucking efforts.
