Gatik raises US$200 million for autonomous middle-mile freight

Gatik announced a US$200 million Series D led by Qatar Investment Authority and Koch Disruptive Technologies, with Millennium Management, ARK Invest and Intact Private Capital among participants.

Why it matters: Repeated, constrained freight routes remain one of the clearest commercial paths for autonomous driving because operating domains can be tightly defined.

Business/technical/strategic impact: The funding amount is corroborated by a report and one report. Deployment, safety and customer-scale claims remain company claims; operators should require regulator records, disengagement evidence, incident disclosure and route-specific safety cases.
