Autonomous Trucks
HOUSTON — A self-driving big rig company is shutting down its Houston and Southern California offices. "I believe that solving autonomous trucking will one day be a huge benefit to society," Rodrigues wrote in the email. Embark was one of several companies in the Houston area using the autonomous trucking technology being developed at Texas A&M University. In 2021, Embark announced it would expand into Texas and launch a new self-driving trucking lane between Houston and San Antonio. Their plan was to utilize a test track and 3,000-acre facility solely used for testing the self-driving technology.
