Kodiak Robotics Introduces 5th Generation Autonomous Truck; Increases Number of Sensors for Added Redundancy and Removes Center Sensor Pod for Faster Build Time and Maintenance
By having sensors located in an easy-to-reach location on the mirrors, customers avoid having to access the roof to maintain sensors.

- Kodiak's SensorPods are also designed to place sensors at the same height as a driver, maximizing road safety and improving perception.
- In the event of a sensor damage, such as a rock or other piece of debris damaging a sensor, offering dual-redundant front-facing sensors increases resiliency.
- When removing the center pod, the company added a second forward-facing LiDAR and additional camera to add redundancy in the left and right SensorPods.
