AMD lands Kodiak, a first in autonomous truck compute
AMD said Kodiak AI is the first autonomous trucking company to deploy its advanced EPYC processors, extending the chipmaker’s push into physical AI workloads. The post AMD lands Kodiak, a first in autonomous truck compute appeared first on FreightWaves .
AMD and Kodiak AI have partnered to power the seventh-generation autonomous truck platform with AMD's EPYC processors. Kodiak is the first autonomous trucking company to utilize these advanced EPYC chips in its hardware. These powerful processors are crucial for autonomous truck compute, handling the large influx of sensor data from cameras, lidars, and radars.
Kodiak already operates driverless trucks in the Permian Basin, with plans to expand driverless operations on public highways later this year. The new compute upgrade will give Kodiak's platform an edge, enabling rapid handling of sensor data and supporting sophisticated AI workloads. Designed specifically for physical AI, the EPYC chips offer high-performance compute capabilities with improved efficiency.
