Kodiak Teams Up with Bosch to Expand Self-Driving Truck Technology
Kodiak AI partners with Bosch to enhance self-driving trucks and boost production speed.
Las Vegas: Kodiak AI, a company that makes self-driving trucks, has teamed up with Bosch. They want to create systems that make big trucks capable of driving by themselves. This new partnership was announced at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show. It could help Kodiak get its self-driving technology into more trucks quickly.
Kodiak is working on self-driving trucks to use on highways and in different jobs. They already have a system that includes backup systems for important functions like braking and steering. In January 2025, Kodiak started using their driverless trucks for deliveries in the oil-rich Permian Basin.
So far, Kodiak has sent eight autonomous trucks to Atlas Energy Solutions under a deal of 100 trucks. They partnered with Roush Industries to fit these trucks with the necessary technology. Now, after going public in September 2025, Kodiak wants to spread their technology to more trucks.
Kodiak and Bosch will work on new platforms to transform regular semi trucks into self-driving ones. Bosch will provide parts, like sensors and steering systems. These components can be added during the truck’s assembly or later by other companies, according to Kodiak’s CEO Don Burnette.
Burnette believes this partnership will help both companies succeed in the self-driving market by making things easier to install and maintain. Bosch’s North American president, Paul Thomas, also sees great potential in this collaboration. He said it will help both companies learn more about what makes autonomous vehicles work well.
Although both companies are eager to grow, they did not give any exact dates on when new systems might start being made or sold.
