Since August, self-driving trucks have been transporting IKEA goods from Baytown to Frisco.

The program is a partnership with California-based self-driving trucking company Kodiak Robotics that started in August, but wasn't previously made public. Every day for nearly three months, a self-driving truck has picked up a delivery from IKEA's Baytown distribution center and made the nearly 300-mile trip to Frisco by late afternoon., Kodiak's trucks are specifically designed for long-haul highway trips.
The goal is both to reduce the typical strain of long trips on truck drivers, while also improving road safety, Kodiak said in a release. The autonomous trucks never speed or weave in and out of traffic, the company says, and each truck contains a monitoring system that can tell when a sensor is damaged, when tire pressure is too low or when the truck encounters another condition that makes autonomous driving unsafe.
