Gatik focuses on "middle-mile" fixed-route logistics between distribution centers and retail stores. Having partnered with Walmart for 7 years, it secured a 41-truck order from PepsiCo in June. The company has completed 85,000 fully autonomous deliveries with a 99% on-time rate, validating the commercial viability of L4 autonomy in specific scenarios.
