Estimated revenue
$20M–$30M annual revenue (LinkedIn-derived estimate, November 2025); company separately reported more than $600M in contracted revenue in January 2026, which is not the same as recognized annual revenue.
Gatik reported scaling fully driverless commercial operations and more than $600 million in contracted revenue; this is a growth milestone but also creates execution, safety, regulatory and customer-concentration exposure as the fleet scales.
