Interactive Planning with Data
Driven Predictions
60 Second, Interaction-Aware Prediction Horizon Unlocks
Optimal Behavior in Challenging Driving Scenarios
Intelligent Adaptive Prediction
Data driven modeling enables the Embark Driver to predict the actions of other road users
Each new observation of a road user improves the system's ability to predict that road user's intent
Allowing the Embark Driver to understand if a vehicle intends to yield the right-of-way or close an
identified gap
Simulating Up To 1200 Scenarios Each Second
Each scenario simulates the actions and interactions of the truck and other relevant vehicles in the
environment
Based on the observed and predicted actions of the other road users The Embark Driver generates a 60
second planning horizon, analyzing relevant actors and available trajectories
