Gatik

Yesterday, we announced the #AV industry's most rigorous safety assessment ever. Richard Bishop from Forbes covered the story in detail: "Gatik’s safety process is one of – if not the – industry’s most rigorous and comprehensive safety assessments ever conducted by independent parties. It is reasonable to assume that the process, in some form, can be applied across robotaxis, long-haul trucking, and any other public road use case, not just their middle-mile operations. The question must be asked, how can a third-party independent assessment not be part of the final decision to launch a driverless vehicle? Clearly, Gatik and their partners feel that their safety validation process should be adopted broadly across the AV space. Nothing of its sort has been announced by any other ADS developer."

?? Announcing Our Commitment to Safety! ?? Today, we announced an unprecedented commitment to safety by unveiling a comprehensive Third-Party Safety Assessment Framework for our Freight-Only operations (deliveries without a human driver onboard) across North America. We’re taking this bold step to help establish a standard and build trust within the Autonomous Vehicle industry. Through open communication, collaboration, and transparency, we aim to build confidence among all stakeholders and accelerate the responsible deployment of AVs. Freight-Only operations at scale is a groundbreaking goal in the industry, poised to revolutionize middle mile logistics with safe, reliable AI-driven autonomy. Central to this effort, we’ve engaged two agencies that, combined, provide the expert resourcing and independence necessary to assess safety - Edge Case Research to support development, deployment, and safety engineering assessment and separately, TüV SüD for third-party safety assessment services.

Partnership between Gatik, government agencies and the communities we serve is always paramount as we look to scale our #autonomous vehicle operations. As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and transparency, Dr. Adam Campbell, Gatik's Head of Safety and Richard Steiner, Gatik's VP of Government Relations, recently met with leadership from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to discuss Gatik’s plans for Freight-Only deployments and our approach to safely delivering goods across the middle mile.

AI is a pivotal element of our work to deliver safe, autonomous vehicles that transform modern supply chain networks. Our AI Research Team is growing and we're looking for an outstanding research scientist to help design and refine the ML algorithms that enable our trucks to safely navigate and operate in complex, dynamic environments.

Gatik is proud to announce that Adam Campbell, our Head of Safety Innovation and Impact, has been named to the Automotive News Rising Stars list for 2024. Now in its 11th year, the award honors dynamic executives making an impression on the industry. Adam's impact when it comes to leading the charge for safety at Gatik is felt every day, and the entire team is delighted to celebrate his well-deserved recognition. "Safety in the autonomous vehicle realm can be a nebulous topic — there are no regulations that determine when self-driving systems are safe enough to deploy, nor agreed-upon benchmarks to help determine whether they're safer than human drivers. Campbell is changing that." Read more about Adam's background and approach in his interview with Pete Bigelow here: https://lnkd.in/g3g9R4uW

We own the middle mile, and we’ve done it with a 100% safety record. To ensure our growing operations continue to provide improved safety for our customers and the communities we serve, we’ve appointed Clint Kneip to the newly-established role of Head of First Responder Engagement. Clint will lead the development of relationships between Gatik and first responder agencies, focusing on our First Responder Interaction Protocol (FRIP) for Freight-Only operations. He brings over 20 years of experience from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), where he fostered relationships with key national and state safety entities. His expertise will be crucial in elevating our safety and compliance standards, and help to successfully deploy freight-only at scale across the United States.

It's National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and at Gatik, we're taking the time to celebrate the incredible safety drivers on our team who make our operations possible. From validating our routes, to monitoring operations, our success today is thanks to their dedication to making the roads safer and more efficient for everyone. #NTDAW

WE ARE GATIK | EPISODE 5: BUILDERS Autonomy is a problem that demands a builder’s mindset - a relentless drive to create, test, break, and rebuild. Being builders is just one of the values that has allowed us to revolutionize middle mile logistics. In the fifth blog of our series Archie Anum, Integration and Test Engineer, gives us a deeper dive into how his ever-curious mind led him to Gatik and how he’s helping build the next generation of AI-driven autonomy.
