Embark's autonomous-truck vision focuses on dedicated routes

摘要

Embark is a Silicon Valley-based technology innovator that is developing a truck-specific approach to autonomous driving that chief operating officer Mike Reid says will address many of the immediate personnel issues in trucking today - and may even create jobs, as in-home grocery and last-mile deliveries heat up. Reid told HDT that there is "no question" that the advent of autonomous vehicle technology will fundamentally change how fleets operate. Embark is working on a deep-learning autonomous vehicle system that will focus exclusively on dedicated long-haul trucking corridors as a way to introduce the technology with immediate value for early adopters.
