Embark develops plug-and-play autonomous trucking system

[Mike]

Self-driving truck startup Embark Trucks Inc. has developed a plug-and-play autonomous trucking software package. It will work on Freightliner, Volvo, Peterbilt and International trucks.

The development could make Level 4 technology a commodity even before competitors begin regular production.

“If Embark can create a system that can be installed on a variety of different trucks without massive rework and embedded development, that obviously creates an opportunity to accelerate deployment of autonomous trucks,” Mike Ramsey, a Gartner Inc. vice president and automotive and smart mobility analyst, told FreightWaves.

I'm telling you, all these companies are seeing $ signs from this pending infrastructure deal and getting all the press they can out in hopes of collecting some of that money.

But how much of the money is actually for infrastructure?

Not much from what I’m hearing.

I posted the amount in the infrastructure thread.

My block ride cab wouldn't bother me so much.
