Stoneridge announced October 28 that its MirrorEye camera monitor system is being used in newly deployed trucks equipped with the Kodiak Driver autonomous driving system.
The Michigan-based vehicle electronics supplier said it and Kodiak AI would explore adding other Stoneridge technologies to the trucks. The companies also plan to examine ways to improve how the autonomous platform processes vehicle data.
MirrorEye uses exterior digital cameras and displays inside the cab in place of conventional mirrors. Stoneridge said the compact camera arrangement could give Kodiak more flexibility in designing future SensorPods, the hardware assemblies mounted on its trucks.
Stoneridge reported producing more than 200,000 MirrorEye systems worldwide since 2020. That production figure covers its broader business, rather than Kodiak deployments alone.
The announcement establishes current use of MirrorEye and a plan for further joint work. It did not provide a truck count for this collaboration or independently measured safety results for the combined system.
