Embark, a San Francisco start-up just demonstrated what it could be capable of in a big way.It drove from Los Angeles to Jacksonville, Florida, in a test drive, covering around 2,400 miles without relying on a human driver on the freeway.The all journey took five days, making regular stops to allow the safety driver rest breaks.

Since early October, autonomous trucks operated by Embark have been carrying Frigidaire refrigerators 650 miles along I-10 freeway, from a warehouse in El Paso, Texas, to a distribution center in Palm Springs, California.

Embark doesn't manufacture its own vehicles, but instead created a self-driving system that was integrated into 5 Peterbilt trucks, and possibly other vehicles. Embark plans to acquire 40 more semis within the year for further testing and long-haul deliveries.

Unlike other tech ventures working on self-driving vehicles, including Alphabet's Waymo and General Motors' Cruise, Embark uses machine learning software and data from the sensors on-board its trucks to map its surroundings in real-time and avoid obstacles. Others "pre-map" their routes, and use data from the sensors on-board to augment their maps.

The "sensor suite" in an Embark truck is comprised of five cameras, three long-range radars and at least two lidars (light detection and ranging sensors).

In its test drive, the Embark truck (dubbed "Big Blue") operated with professional safety drivers inside, ready to take over the wheel if needed. In the long-term, the start-up aims to produce autonomous trucks that can drive themselves on freeways, but would require a human to get on and off the exits, and to navigate around cities or small towns.

This concept would make it possible for truckers to keep their jobs but cover long routes and make more deliveries in less time.

Do you think self-driving trucks, with a momentum of 25 Honda Accords, would replace Nigerian truck drivers in the face of confusing road hazards, poor surface conditions, and unpredictable car drivers?

Wow!

Ok

Na so Buhari go take go,straight from Abuja to Daura,Kastina state without any supervision but running strictly on his zombiefied mindset straight to his ranch.

#BuhariMustGo

Which way Nigeria

Buhari sef

Na me oooooo the real huncho

Am porting to oyibo land....wonderful!

Good one


Which Naija Kolewerk

for where these oyinbos be deyn get their brain sef

nice one

wow.. nice

Nice one, but okada and keke will not allow it drive safely in Lagos

When will naija leaders think straight?

I just remember that I'm still in Nigeria

Mayb the person below me has smtin to say.....passes mic''

Come try am for Sagamu to Ikorodu road Abi Arochukwu Ohafia road. You go hear am. Good one though by the Americans

See achievement, but here we are still trying to manufacture pencils in 2020

Ovoko!!! Are these people trying to make people lose their jobs?

Xx

African countries have no hope of catching up with the western world

We're still busy waiting for miracles instead of getting down to do the work that will lead us to greatness

And we still dey struggle to register sim cards

if the truck enter naija roads e go miss road

The price of technology

good one But for here ,dem go kidnapp am sharp sharp

biacan:
I just remember that I'm still in Nigeria

stop crying dear... I love u. I'm still in Nigeria with u..jus give me a call and give orders. u know I love u

Read the story well: there was a driver in the vehicle who did not navigate but kept an eye on things.

chaiiiiii, buhari sef
