About Kodiak Driver
Kodiak Driver combines perception, localisation, planning and vehicle control for highway trucks, defence vehicles and heavy industrial equipment. Redundant compute, power, steering and braking systems preserve controlled operation during individual component failures.
Mirror-mounted SensorPods package cameras, lidar and radar into field-replaceable assemblies that can be exchanged without recalibrating the complete vehicle. Kodiak supports deployed systems with mapping, remote monitoring and operating services. The platform is used in driverless trucking and customer programmes across logistics, defence and industrial operations.
