Stoneridge, Inc. announced on October 28, 2026, a collaboration with Kodiak AI, Inc. in which Stoneridge's MirrorEye Camera Monitor System is incorporated into trucks equipped with Kodiak's AI-powered autonomous driving system, the Kodiak Driver.

Key Highlights

  • MirrorEye deployed on Kodiak Driver trucks: Stoneridge's Camera Monitor System is already incorporated in newly deployed trucks equipped with the Kodiak Driver autonomous driving system.
  • FMCSA exemption renewed in 2024: MirrorEye was the first CMS to receive a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration exemption allowing operation without conventional rear-vision mirrors; the exemption was renewed in 2024 for five years.
  • SensorPod design flexibility: The FMCSA exemption gives Kodiak the ability to design future SensorPods without traditional mirrors, making them smaller, lighter, easier to replace, and more aerodynamic, according to the filing.
  • More than 200,000 MirrorEye systems produced: Stoneridge disclosed it has produced more than 200,000 MirrorEye systems globally since 2020.
  • Six OEM programs and 40-plus fleet partners: The system is offered through six global OEM programs and through retrofit installations with more than 40 fleet partners in North America.
  • Further integration planned: The two companies plan to explore integrating additional Stoneridge technology into Kodiak Driver-equipped trucks and developing solutions that improve how vehicle data is processed.

Stoneridge and Kodiak AI Collaboration: MirrorEye Integration and Autonomous Trucking Plans

Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE:SRI), headquartered in Novi, Michigan, announced its collaboration with Kodiak AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:KDK) on October 28, 2026. According to the filing, the collaboration begins with Stoneridge's MirrorEye Camera Monitor System, which replaces traditional mirrors with exterior digital cameras and in-cab high-definition displays, and is now incorporated in trucks running Kodiak's AI-powered autonomous driving system.

The filing notes that Kodiak's proprietary SensorPods, which replace conventional side mirrors on the truck cab, had previously included conventional rear-vision mirrors as required by U.S. regulations for commercial trucks. Stoneridge's MirrorEye was the first CMS to receive an exemption from the FMCSA authorizing motor carriers to operate MirrorEye-equipped trucks without those conventional mirrors. The FMCSA renewed the exemption in 2024 for five years. Because MirrorEye's cameras sit in a compact wing above the cab door, the exemption provides Kodiak with the ability to design future SensorPods without traditional mirrors, which the filing states would make them "smaller, lighter, easier to replace and more aerodynamic."

As part of the collaboration, the companies said they will explore further integration of Stoneridge technologies into Kodiak's autonomous vehicle platform and work to develop solutions that improve how vehicle data is processed. Natalia Noblet, President and CEO of Stoneridge, and Jamie Hoffacker, Senior Vice President of Hardware at Kodiak, are both quoted in the filing. The filing also notes that statements about the collaboration's potential, future deployments of MirrorEye, and anticipated benefits are forward-looking statements subject to risks described in Stoneridge's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent regulatory filings.
