The idea of scaling autonomy is simple on paper: build more trucks to haul more freight. But the reality is being strategic about what an autonomous network looks like, and understanding that autonomy removes one of the biggest questions in network design: does the labor exist to make a location in my network make sense? That's what Brett Suma is here to answer. freightwaves.com/news/bot-auto-…

Another great move by Bot Auto, please welcome Brett Suma to our team! Brett brings decades of industry experience and a true love of the autonomy space to his role as President & COO. We're so glad to have him with us!

Our team just wrapped up an incredible week in Washington, D.C., with the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association. It was a whirlwind of high-level discussions on Capitol Hill, at the White House and with the Department of Transportation. One thing is clear from perspectives of lawmakers, stakeholders, and industry players: 2026 will be THE transformational year for commercial autonomous scale. A major talking point was the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act. This landmark legislation is the key to ensuring AVs are implemented in a way that serves every American. Thank you to the team at AVIA for their tireless advocacy and for organizing such a productive week of engagement. Special shoutout to @SecDuffy and the leadership at the DOT for their commitment to innovation and safety, and for making so much progress the first year and a half of this administration. Thank you also to @SenTedCruz for his leadership and vision in championing policies that keep the United States at the forefront of global autonomous technology. The technology is ready, the benefits are clear, and the momentum is building. Let’s lead the way.

It was great to work with the team at Point One Navigation to put together this case study on our autonomous technology stack. In an industry where every millimeter measured has to be perfectly accurate, Point One’s RTK engine is an essential tool in keeping our autonomous system exactly where it should be.

Another great @TRUCKINGdotORG midyear is in the books! So many great sessions, speakers, and networking. Bot Auto is a proud member and happy to support making our roads safer!

TechCon SoCal 2026 kicks off in a week and we will be on site! Xiaodi Hou will be on a panel discussing the future of transportation from AV's to EV's and everything in between. Will we see you in San Diego?!

Here's a look at the highlights from our humanless run from Houston to Dallas!

We hit the road and headed to Houston to witness @BotAutoAV launch America's first fully humanless over-the-road commercial trucking operation. No safety attendant. No observer. No human in the cab. Just a paid load for Ryan Transportation, hauled 231 miles from Riggy's Truck Parking in northeast Houston to Safe Stop in Hutchins, just south of Dallas, on April 29, 2026. This is our Field Report.

As trucking continues to be a razor-thin margin business, autonomous continues to be a possible solution for the balance sheet. We believe it too, making lower cost per mile a driving strategy for our operations. Axios’s Joann Muller does a great job explaining how the math is making more and more sense for our tech. We agree! axios.com/2026/05/06/aut…

HUGE thank you to Kurt Knutsson and Fox News for doing a deeper dig on our humanless run from Houston to Dallas. Kurt said it best in his article: next steps are repeatability and scale, and we are ready to tackle those head on! Read the full interview with Kurt and Bot Auto's CEO Xiaodi Hou here. foxnews.com/tech/humanless…

This Week in the Autonomy Economy, we witnessed @BotAutoAV launch fully autonomous commercial operations from Houston to Dallas, miles driven on @Tesla FSD Supervised surpassed 10 billion and China suspended the issuance of new autonomous driving licenses.

Yesterday Kaylee Nix hit the FreightWaves airwaves on What The Truck?!? to talk about our autonomous run from Houston to Dallas. If you missed the episode, catch it here or on your favorite podcast player! youtube.com/watch?v=Ka41Yl…

Had a great #ACTexpo2026! Thank you to all the great ecosystem partners and customers. Autonomous trucks were the topic of most conversations and couldn’t be more excited about the great progress the @BotAutoAV team has made.

Last week we told you about our historic run from Houston to Dallas. Now you can watch it like you were in the front seat! This run was full of challenges we see every day on the roads, from construction to unpredictable driving activity. The truck did exactly what it was programmed to do, never faltered, and delivered the freight on time as expected. Watch the full timelapse here and stay tuned for more videos highlighting the "why" behind the route, the unexpected things encountered on the way, and what's next for our Bot Auto team. youtu.be/OJmiRB9Ieds

Did you catch @gbrulte's newsletter this week? Read all about our historic autonomous run to Dallas and what The Road to Autonomy team really thought about following along every step of the way 👀 roadtoautonomy.com/truckin-autono…

This week @BotAutoAV deployed an autonomous truck with no human in the cab on a 231 mile run from Houston to Dallas. We were there to witness it. @gbrulte and @RobGsix discuss launching fully autonomous commercial trucking operations on Autonomy Signals.
