Bot Auto, founded in 2023 and based in Houston, Texas, is developing Level 4 autonomous trucks and operating them through a Transportation as a Service (TaaS) model. The company focuses on commercializing autonomous trucking for hub-to-hub freight runs, owning and operating its fleet rather than selling technology to existing carriers. It completed Texas's first humanless hub-to-hub validation run in real traffic.
The company's technical work spans autonomous trucking systems, LiDAR, radar, computer vision, AI, and real-time data processing. Bot Auto's team comprises 76 engineers and industry veterans, and it has secured $20 million in Pre-A funding. The company operates across the trucking, freight logistics, and sustainable logistics sectors.
