Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette joins ‘Varney & Co.’ to discuss the launch of driverless delivery trucks in partnership with IKEA and explains the technology behind autonomous long-haul shipping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Kodiak’s unsupervised driverless long-haul delivery trucks will soon hit Texas roads as its partnership with Swedish furniture giant IKEA enters a new phase.<\/p>\n
Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette joined “Varney & Co.” Tuesday to shed light on the rollout and the technology behind the autonomous trucks.<\/p>\n
“We’re starting with one. We’re gonna get that first one out by the end of the year, and then we’re gonna start to scale throughout 2027 and beyond.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Burnette said\u00a0IKEA will serve as the launch<\/u> partner later in the year.<\/p>\n
“We’re doing just over 200-mile trips to start, but nobody in the driver’s seat, nobody in [the] cab,” Burnette said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Burnette explained that Kodiak\u00a0provides the AI-powered software<\/u> that serves as “the brain” behind how the autonomous trucks drive.<\/p>\n
“We’ve\u00a0proven the technology is safe<\/u> and reliable. We’ve done a lot of work over the last decade or so to make sure we’ve covered every contingency, and now we’re ready to go,” he said.<\/p>\n

Burnette told FOX Business\u2019 Stuart Varney that the company has spent “millions of miles and years” teaching the trucks how to safely handle emergency situations and does not rely on “external capabilities or communications for safety.”<\/p>\n
“In the event that it gets stuck, or it doesn’t understand, it can safely come to a stop, it can pull over, it can take an exit, it can call home for help. And we can go in and remotely assist the truck and say, \u2018hey, this is what you should do in this situation.\u2019”<\/p>\n

CEO WARNS HIGH DIESEL COSTS COULD TRIGGER A \u2018VICIOUS CYCLE\u2019 OF SURGING FOOD PRICES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
The news of Kodiak\u2019s launch comes as trucking companies grapple with rising diesel fuel costs and concerns grow regarding the potential\u00a0economic impact of automation.<\/u>\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We can save on fuel economy. They don’t drive anywhere they’re not supposed to. They’re very smooth. And more importantly, they’re safe. They sit in the right-hand lane. They go the speed limit. They mind their own business. They are very defensive. And so that additionally\u00a0has cost savings<\/u> down the line,” Burnette said.<\/p>\n
