Company

Embark Trucks

Defunct American autonomous-trucking company (founded 2016 in San Francisco by Alex Rodrigues and Brandon Moak). Went public via a 2021 SPAC (Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp II, ~$5.2B valuation) and ran autonomous test/pilot freight (1.5M+ test miles, Houston-El Paso and coast-to-coast runs) WITH safety drivers, targeting a 2024 driver-out that it never reached. After ~70% layoffs in late 2022 it wound down by March 2023; its IP was sold to Applied Intuition for ~$71M.
