Gatik, a Silicon Valley-based developer of robotic technology, will haul Walmart’s freights using self-driving trucks for the first time. The firm has been a Walmart’s logistics partner since 2019 and just rolled out two autonomous delivery trucks. The trucks will move at a fixed 7.1-mile route between an e-commerce fulfilment facility to a Walmart Neighborhood Market store. Initially, a backup human worker will be seated in the passenger seat with less control while the freight is moving. They will be there to control its processes and can press a stop or chase vehicle button.
