Gatik Goes Driverless In Canada For Grocery Giant Loblaws

The announcement marks the first time Gatik trucks are making deliveries with no human in the driver’s seat in Canada, marking expansion of the Mountain View, Calif.-based company’s driverless delivery operations.

“As of today Gatik is the first and only autonomous trucking company operating in a commercial capacity without anyone behind the steering wheel across multiple customers and multiple sites now,” said Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder, Gatik in an interview with Forbes.com.

Gatik is now moving select online grocery orders for Loblaw’s PC Express service with a fleet of multi-temperature autonomous box trucks in Brampton, Ontario near Toronto. The approximately 13 mile route runs between Loblaws’ micro fulfillment center to a retail location according to Narang.
