It’s been a tough seven days for autonomous trucking startups. Last week, Kodiak Robotics laid off more than a dozen employees. And now Ike, another company aiming to automate long-haul trucking, has laid off ten employees, equating to 14% of its staff, the Information reported on Wednesday.

Like many transportation companies that have laid off workers in recent weeks, Ike cited the pandemic as the proximate cause of the layoffs.

“With the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 crisis, we have made some changes to our team in the interest of ensuring Ike’s long term success,” the company said in an emailed statement to FreightWaves.
