Gatik operates autonomous trucks on the middle mile, moving freight between distribution centres and stores for Fortune 50 retailers and grocers. The strategic choice is the interesting part: rather than pursuing open-ended autonomy, it runs short, fixed, repeated routes.
That constraint is why the trucks are actually in daily commercial operation while more ambitious autonomy programmes remain in testing. A known route driven repeatedly is a tractable problem, the conditions are characterised, the edge cases are finite, and the economics work because these runs are frequent, predictable and hard to staff.
This is physical logistics infrastructure rather than software you can sign up for, so it belongs in a directory as an example of applied autonomy rather than a tool most readers will deploy. Engagement is a commercial partnership with a freight operation.
