What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20
Too early to adopt
- Why
- The product's maker is defunct and litigation alleged the autonomy 'never worked well' — adopting now carries orphaned-hardware and unsupported-software risk despite the prior commercial-availability claim. Caterpillar's intent is IP/licensing, not continuing the MK-V line.
- Next
- Do not procure MK-V; monitor whether Caterpillar revives the Autodrive stack under its own brand (12-18 mo) before reconsidering.
