Gatik is an autonomous trucking and delivery company that operates in the United States and Canada. ^[1] The company creates Level 4 autonomous trucking technology for vehicles making middle mile commercial deliveries. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

Gatik was established in 2017 by Gautam Narang, ^[5] Arjun Narang, ^[6] and Apeksha Kumavat. ^[7] Around this time, Texas passed a law allowing autonomous vehicles to drive on its roads and highways. ^[3] Gatik is currently headquartered in Mountain View, California and has offices in Arkansas, Fort Worth, Texas and Toronto, Ontario. ^{[8] [9]}

The company operated in stealth mode for the first two years to develop its technology. ^{[10] [5]} In 2019, it partnered with Walmart, as it launched automated grocery delivery trucks at the retailer's Bentonville, Arkansas location. ^{[5] [11] [12]} By November 2021, Gatik was operating 21 vehicles. ^{[13] [14]}

In January 2020, Gatik deployed Canada's first autonomous delivery fleet with supermarket chain Loblaw in Ontario, Canada. ^[15]

The company began making grocery deliveries for PC Express in Brampton, Ontario on a 13-mile route as of October 5, 2022. ^{[16] [17]} The deliveries were made using autonomous trucks with no safety driver behind the steering wheel. ^[18] Gatik is now used by Kroger and Tyson Foods for this purpose. ^{[19] [20] [21]}

Gatik focuses on medium-distance deliveries, known as the middle mile, using Level 4 autonomous trucks to transport groceries and other goods between distribution centers, micro-fulfillment centers and retail locations. ^{[22] [23] [24]} Gatik's Level 4 autonomous trucks operate without a safety driver on repeated routes. ^{[25] [26]}

The company began making its first deliveries using Ford Transit vans integrated with Gatik's autonomous technology. ^[27] Gatik introduced an electric version of its Ford Transit delivery truck in February 2021, which was developed together with electric vehicle manufacturer VIA Motors. ^{[28] [29]}

In April 2021, Gatik partnered with Isuzu to develop an autonomous medium-duty truck. ^[30] Gatik integrated its autonomous trucking technology into the Isuzu N-Series truck. ^[28]

Starting in 2022, Cummins has also worked with Gatik to integrate the company's autonomous vehicle technology into Cummins' powertrain software, enabling the use of drive by wire in autonomous vehicles. ^[31] The companies installed the technology into Isuzu FTR box trucks. ^[31]

In 2024, Gatik's trucks started to use data-collecting tires from Goodyear. ^[32]
