Kodiak AI, Inc., a leading innovator in AI-powered autonomous driving, announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Bosch, a global technology and services leader, to jointly scale the production of a redundant autonomous platform. This platform integrates specialized hardware, firmware, and software interfaces, enabling Kodiak’s AI-driven Kodiak Driver to automate trucks, both on vehicle production lines and through aftermarket upfitter solutions.
“Advancing the deployment of driverless trucks and physical AI not only requires robust autonomous technology, but also manufacturing experience and a robust supply chain in order to achieve true scale,” said Don Burnette, Founder and CEO of Kodiak. “We believe collaborating with Bosch will allow us to scale autonomous driving hardware with the modularity, serviceability, and system-level integration needed for commercial success for both upfit and factory-line integration.”

The Kodiak Driver unites advanced AI software with modular, vehicle-agnostic hardware into a single, cohesive platform. Through this collaboration, Bosch will help develop a redundant autonomous platform that merges automotive-grade hardware, firmware, and software interfaces. As part of the agreement, Bosch will supply Kodiak with key hardware components, including advanced sensors and vehicle actuation technologies such as steering systems.
“By supplying production-grade hardware, we are enabling the next generation of autonomous trucking alongside Kodiak,” said Paul Thomas, President of Bosch in North America and President of Bosch Mobility Americas. “Kodiak has already deployed trucks with no humans on board in commercial operation and this cooperation gives us a valuable opportunity to deepen our understanding of real-world autonomous vehicle requirements and to further enhance our offerings for the broader autonomous mobility ecosystem.”
