Gatik joins Nvidia Halos lab to scale driverless trucking

Autonomous trucking firm Gatik has joined the Nvidia Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, the first ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB)-accredited inspection programme for AI-driven physical systems. The move supports Gatik’s plans to scale to hundreds of driverless trucks by the end of 2026, backed by US$600m in contracted revenue.

Gatik already operates fully driverless trucks around the clock on public roads across Texas, Arkansas, Arizona and Ontario, Canada, completing daily freight deliveries for Fortune 50 retailers and consumer packaged goods companies with no human driver or safety observer on board. The company launched fully driverless operations in 2025.

Nvidia Halos unifies functional safety, cybersecurity, AI safety and regulatory compliance into a single development and verification environment. Membership of the inspection lab provides independent assessment against these standards, with successful inspection yielding certificates that support deployment approval in major markets.

Gatik’s third-generation autonomous system, Gatik Driver, combines AI architecture with automotive-grade hardware for high-frequency commercial logistics. The company’s scale-up plans are also supported by a collaboration with Isuzu Motors to develop a mass-production autonomous-ready vehicle platform.

In a statement, Apeksha Kumavat, Co-Founder and Chief Engineer of Gatik, said: “Expanding that collaboration with Halos reflects NVIDIA’s trust in the systems Gatik has built over the years and our shared commitment to strengthening the safety foundation that makes driverless freight possible at scale.”
