Embark Partners With Texas Law Enforcement Agency, Marking Key Progress On Emergency Vehicle Interaction Technology

SAN FRANCISCO, June 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Embark Trucks, Inc. (Nasdaq:EMBK, “Embark”), a leading developer of autonomous technology for the trucking industry, today shared an update on its progress to develop an emergency vehicle interaction capability for Embark-powered autonomous trucks to identify, stop for, and interface with law enforcement vehicles. Embark is working closely with the Texas Department of Public Safety (“Texas DPS”) to train Embark-powered trucks to identify law enforcement vehicles in situations such as traffic stops, and to develop communication protocols and standard operating procedures between autonomous trucks and law enforcement officers. Embark plans to publicly demonstrate the emergency vehicle interaction capability later this summer.

Emergency vehicle interaction is the next capability Embark has identified in its technical capabilities roadmap 1, which details the 16 technology achievements required to deploy autonomous technology in the US Sunbelt, the region stretching across the southeastern and southwestern U.S. Embark has already achieved 11 of these milestones, and the emergency vehicle interaction capability represents the next step toward commercial deployment of its technology.

“Our technical roadmap represents a measurable path to commercialization of autonomous trucks, and making sure law enforcement can safely and intuitively interact with autonomous trucks is a ‘must’ for deployment,” said Emily Warren, Head of Public Policy at Embark. “Our work with Texas DPS prioritizes safety as we achieve this key technical milestone, and enables us to create a scalable emergency vehicle interaction model that can work across Texas and the U.S. Sunbelt.”
