This self-driving semi company wants to make truckers' jobs easier

If a new startup has its way, highways might soon be filled self-driving semi trucks. Embark, which emerged from stealth mode to launch publicly Friday, is the latest autonomous long haul solution to hit the road. The company claims its semi trucks will be able to self-navigate freeway routes from exit to exit without any driver interaction. The State of Nevada gave its blessing to Embark to test vehicles on public roads earlier this year, so the company has already begun to collect all-important on-road data to hone the system.
