Loblaw has signed a multi-year agreement with global autonomous vehicle company Gatik to build out a self-driving truck network in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Under the deal, 50 trucks from Gatik's autonomous fleet will be deployed over the next year — 20 by the end of the year, with an additional 30 throughout 2026. Loblaw says this is the largest-planned rollout of autonomous trucks in North America, servicing more than 300 of its grocery stores in the region. In an email statement, Loblaw said the partnership with Gatik would have "no impact" on its workforce. Loblaw also faced significant controversy last year over rising grocery prices, with thousands of frustrated Canadians choosing to boycott the company.
