Industry Lobbying Results
Successfully advocated for USDOT to clarify the ability for L4 trucks to operate under existing
regulation and without constraint from human-centric regulations (hours of service, drug testing),
codified in USDOT's "AV 3.0" guidance issued in Oct 2018.
Won inclusion and exclusion of autonomous trucks in various federal and state legislation to benefit
Embark's deployment model as well balance what we believe to be the right regulatory framework

Trucking is the backbone of the American economy. I
believe Embark's technology will strengthen U.S.
economic competitiveness by making trucks safer,
dramatically improving productivity, and solving the
real and growing driver shortage.
