PepsiCo has gone all-in on driverless trucks. The food and beverage giant has been testing autonomous trucks via its partnership with Gatik since 2022, finally removing human backup drivers from the cabs on public roads last summer.
This month, PepsiCo and Gatik announced a multi-year strategic partnership to expand the operation to approximately 250 retail locations across Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas. The autonomous trucks will deliver to retailers like Walmart and Dollar General with no driver or observer in the cab. It is the largest commercial autonomous freight deployment on record.
