Gatik

American autonomous middle-mile trucking company (founded 2017 by Gautam Narang, Arjun Narang, and Apeksha Kumavat). Runs L4 autonomous Class 6/7 box trucks on fixed, repeatable short-haul routes for retail and grocery. Achieved a world-first fully driverless (no safety driver) middle-mile delivery for Walmart in Bentonville, Arkansas in 2021; driverless-at-scale has been ramping since mid-2025 at still-modest cumulative volume, atop a larger safety-driver-supervised commercial footprint dating to 2019.
