Starsky Robotics

Starsky Robotics was an autonomous trucking company based in San Francisco, California. Founded in 2016 by Stefan Seltz-Axmacher and Kartik Tiwari, the company developed a hybrid system that combined highway autonomy with remote human teleoperation for last-mile and complex maneuvers. It gained notoriety for conducting the first public road test of a driverless freight truck with no one in the vehicle. Starsky ceased operations in 2020 following funding challenges and a slowdown in investor interest in autonomous vehicle startups.
