Gatik raised a US$200 million Series D led by Qatar Investment Authority and Koch Disruptive Technologies, with other investors participating. The company specialises in repeated middle-mile freight routes and says the money will support commercial expansion.

Why it matters: Constrained, repeatable freight routes remain one of the clearest paths to revenue for autonomous driving.

Business/technical/strategic impact: Funding is independently corroborated. Deployment scale, safety performance, contracted revenue and driverless-order figures remain company claims unless supported by regulator and customer data.
