About Bot Auto
Bot Auto develops and operates Level 4 autonomous trucks, selling freight capacity as Transportation-as-a-Service to shippers rather than licensing technology. The Houston-based, privately held company (founded 2023) owns the trucks and runs end-to-end operations, pairing fleet operators with autonomy engineers to deploy long-haul routes. Its platform spans autonomy software, vehicle controls, sensors, compute, and fleet operations with a documented safety case for commercial freight service.
