Gatik
Gatik is the first U.S. company to operate fully driverless trucks at commercial scale, focused on short-haul, fixed-route autonomous delivery between distribution centers and retail stores. Their Level 4 autonomous box trucks run daily revenue-generating middle-mile routes for Walmart, Kroger, and Loblaw across multiple states and Canadian provinces. With over $600 million in contracted revenue and 60,000+ driverless orders completed without incident, Gatik is proving that autonomous middle-mile freight is no longer a pilot program.
Our verdict
The middle-mile specialist: fixed, repeatable B2B routes for retailers with driverless operations ahead of most rivals. The tight operational envelope is the strategy — and the constraint.

- Focused fixed-route middle-mile model with real retail deployments
- Early driverless operations experience
- Fits hub-to-store replenishment economics
Risks to manage
