Autonomous Truck Company Kodiak Reports First Million-Dollar Quarter

Kodiak AI, a startup building self-driving trucks, earned $1 million in revenue during the third quarter of 2025 by letting trucking companies use its technology without buying it outright—paying instead for each trip. The company has logged 2.6 million miles on real roads. This rental-style model is becoming standard in the autonomous vehicle industry, letting operators adopt the technology without upfront costs.
