Overview
Gatik is an autonomous vehicle company specializing in commercial middle-mile logistics. It provides a full-stack Autonomous Transportation as a Service (ATaaS) solution — the Gatik Driver — that integrates sensors, perception and planning software, vehicle integration, operations, and safety practices to run driverless deliveries on structured, repeatable short-haul routes for enterprise customers. Gatik emphasizes a safety-first development approach (five safety pillars), multilevel validation (simulation, closed track, on-road), strategic OEM and supplier partnerships (Isuzu, Cummins, Goodyear, NVIDIA), and a track record of real-world commercial deployments with large retailers and logistics customers (Walmart, Loblaw, Kroger, Tyson, Pitney Bowes, Georgia-Pacific). The company also developed Arena™, a closed-loop, sensor-accurate simulation platform built on NVIDIA Cosmos to accelerate validation and scale. Public website information does not list pricing, published plans, or a free trial; commercial engagements are handled via contact/enterprise sales.
Key Features
Gatik Driver (Integrated HW+SW)
Integrated autonomous driving system combining multi-modal sensors, proprietary perception and planning algorithms, and vehicle integration for commercial class trucks.
Structured Autonomy (Middle-Mile Focus)
Operates on known, repeatable short-haul routes (middle-mile) to minimize variability and accelerate safe deployments and scaling.
ATaaS (Autonomous Transportation as a Service)
Full-stack commercial offering delivering dedicated capacity, predictable service, and fleet operations for enterprise logistics customers.
Arena™ Simulation Platform
Closed-loop, sensor-accurate, physics-based simulation built on NVIDIA Cosmos to accelerate validation, testing, and commercialization.
Five Safety Pillars & Validation
Safety-first approach with five explicit safety pillars; validated through virtual testing, closed tracks, and on-road testing and subject to independent/third-party assessments.
OEM & Systems Partnerships
Deep integrations and partnerships with OEMs and suppliers (Isuzu, Cummins, Goodyear, NVIDIA) to enable production-grade vehicle platforms and powertrain integration.
Who Can Use This Tool?
- Retailers:Automate middle-mile replenishment and store-to-store logistics with driverless trucks.
- Ecommerce:Support hub-and-spoke fulfillment and e-commerce shipment movement between DCs and hubs.
- Grocery / CPG:Enable high-frequency, predictable deliveries and inventory sharing across regional networks.
- Manufacturers & Distributors:Optimize DC-to-DC and inbound supplier deliveries with dedicated autonomous capacity.
- Large Enterprises / Logistics Operators:Lower transportation costs and increase capacity through an ATaaS model for middle-mile operations.

Pros & Cons
✓ Pros
- ✓Proven commercial deployments with large enterprise customers (Walmart, Loblaw, Kroger, Tyson, Pitney Bowes).
- ✓Safety-first approach with five explicit safety pillars and independent third-party assessments/engagements.
- ✓Structured autonomy focus on repeatable, known routes reduces operational complexity and risk.
- ✓Strong industry partnerships and ecosystem integration (Isuzu, Cummins, NVIDIA, Goodyear) and in-house simulation (Arena) to accelerate validation and scale.
- ✓Demonstrated geographic expansion across North America with real driverless operations.
✗ Cons
- ✗No publicly listed pricing or self-serve plans — enterprise sales only; pricing transparency limited.
- ✗Solution is focused on the middle-mile and structured routes — not a general-purpose last-mile or city-wide AV solution.
- ✗Deployments appear regionally concentrated (North America) — not global coverage.
- ✗Regulatory and operational constraints of public-road driverless operations still apply and vary by jurisdiction.
