“Gatik became the first company in North America to deploy fully driverless trucks in commercial operations at scale, with $600 million in contracted revenue and daily deliveries for Fortune 50 retailers.”
“At scale” is doing overtime work in that sentence. We’re talking 10,000 miles and 60,000 orders across three states. That’s a rounding error in the trucking industry. The real story is buried in the fine print: these are middle-mile routes between distribution centers and stores. Fixed routes, known conditions, controlled environments. Not exactly conquering the open road. But sure, let’s call it a revolution.
