Starting in July, Gatik, a California-based autonomous trucking company, will make deliveries to 34 Sam's Club locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, using autonomous 26-foot box trucks.
Gatik's Richard Steiner said each truck will make an average of three runs per day, driving about 100 miles round-trip.
The trucks initially will include a safety driver, but eventually will operate without such a driver.
Gatik started testing the technology with Sam's Club parent company Walmart in December 2020, operating on a seven-mile loop in Bentonville, AR.
Said Steiner, "It's something which is new for the space, and we're excited to be doing it first here in Texas."
