Kodiak Robotics Leads Pilot Program for Autonomous Truck Inspections, Streamlining Roadside Interactions


🚚 Kodiak Robotics Leads Pilot Program for Autonomous Truck Inspections, Streamlining Roadside Interactions.

Kodiak Robotics is leading the pilot of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's new protocol for autonomous trucks called the Enhanced Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspection Standard program. This protocol enables autonomous trucks to pre-clear roadside inspections, streamlining interactions between them and law enforcement at fixed inspection sites. The program requires a thorough inspection by a CVSA-certified inspector and allows autonomous trucks to communicate the inspection outcome and safety information to roadside enforcement officers. Trucks that follow the approved process will be exempt from routine inspections at weigh stations and other sites. Kodiak, along with Drivewyze and the Texas Department of Public Safety, is piloting the program in Texas and aims to expand it to other states. The initiative creates new private-sector jobs for autonomous vehicle inspectors, certifying high safety and maintenance standards for self-driving trucks.
