There is currently a truck driver shortage of 80,000 people — a number that is expected to double by 2030. Embark is a self-driving trucking company that is using automated technology to solve this problem. Its software helps logistics companies move goods from Point A to Point B. Ultimately, Embark wants to make truckers’ lives better by having self-driving trucks do the long-haul portion of trips — which is the most taxing on drivers.

How One Company Is Making Self-Driving Trucks A Reality
Watch more new videos about Truck | Synthesized by Mindovermetal English
I have never once seen any of these autonomous vehicles being operated in rain or fog or snowy and other inclement weather conditions, it's always a nice sunny day.
Reminds me of the big STEM worker shortage pushed out by the media a decade or so ago as corporations were looking to get more cheap foreign H1B labor. As with this "shortage" there was no actual shortage just an agenda being pushed.
I would just climb on these trucks while in traffic stops just for a free cross country hitchhike
Replacing people with machines err of machine
When you see soo many women talking, you know it won't go no where
Hopefully Tesla will purchase them and incorporate their awesome technology into their upcoming driverless trucks.
Deceitful. Are the drivers going to be waiting at the shippers and receivers, of course not, the customers won't allow it. Who's scaling these loads? Has anyone seen these trucks back into a dock yet? Who's chaining these trucks and trailers? Who's going to drop a trailer and hook a trailer at the customers? Do you really think the customer is going to have their workers be responsible for that, and that the customers insurance and the truck insurance is going to allow that. This all sounds good to investor's and people that don't know much about trucking, but it's never going to happen.
I see that in most of the jobs we have low pay. That is meant for shop employees, truck drivers and teachers as well as other employees. Meanwhile the prices are going so up that a loaf of bread that used to be 70cents is now 2/3 times it's price
About time… no more holding companies hostage for higher wage…
No more delays.
Keep our economy moving.
They will soon find out, that cars cause most of the accidents on the highway, not the trucks, can't wait.
Business Insider – this is a FAKE NEWS story.
GAS Trucks will be BANNED in 2030, the only way Forward is AUTONOMOUS BEV trucks using 4680 batteries with 500+ mile ranges and 82k Gross payload.
so far ONLY Tesla has a Class 8 SEMI w/ 82k Gross w/ Autonomous capabilities. and they can Platoon w/ only ONE safety Driver.
Well, around 5:10, we are supposed to believe she's in one of those trucks driving autonomously, implicitly, I think they never say so directly… but at 5:34, seriously, look at that GLOWING truck in the middle lane… that's not real, that's bad cgi, imho! So we're supposed to trust a bunch of programmers who can't get their cgi believable to make everything else safe? Yeah, sure definitely, no problem!
So no one's wondering if its going to get hijacked?
Time to fire Maddie Berg for being too stupid to realize sending that letter to Mark Dice will result only in loss of Business Insider subscribers. The dying media can’t afford such mistakes.
I hope the world doesn't end
Tell Madeline Berg her number has come up and to not be surprised when I'm standing over her with an evil smile on my face……😈
The background music in this video is so distracting. It really diminishes the ability of the intended message of the video from being fully perceived by your audience. Please stop allowing added background noise to ruin your videos in this way. Thank you.
What shortage?!? Because of the high demand to trucking and amount of drivers, the price of shipping drops which effects trucking company owners like me.
Daniel, I did not suggest that self driving semis would take on all conditions! Furthermore Teslas are involved in few accidents, despite their careless owners, compared to human driven cars. Truckers are neither the most considerate, nor the safest drivers on the road. The quality of heavy truck drivers is falling fast, because of the shortage. It is not likely that accident rate and serious result will improve. Automation is what improved job safety in the industrial age and beyond, and will continue to improve quality and satisfaction. Airline pilots do not land airliners under adverse conditions, they are legally required to let auto pilot take over!
Local routes pay less than interstate routes by about $20k annually, not to mention a shift like this in the industry would mean that many truckers will be between jobs while the industry transitions, meaning there’s a lot of money that truckers, especially those with families, will be losing. Cutting out the human aspect of interstate driving is going to destroy a lot of what’s left of the industry. The reason behind the protests weren’t cuz truckers want robot driving, they want to get paid reasonably and not mistreated by employers.
These past few days watching my crypto portfolio decline is very disheartening. Holding doesn't really profit much. Any ideas on how to earn better on the short run?
Good.
The one problem with autonomous driving is, who do you flip off?? Thanks I am here all week. Good night everybody and drive safely.
Just hire immigrants, they are cheap
Just. Build. A. Train.
try doing this in india lol
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤The richest people in the world build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work.” “There is a difference between being poor and being broke. I once attended similar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..
Vaporware.
You know what would solve a trucker shortage? Sane pay and sane work environment.
As for long haul: that should not happen on roads anyway.
Trucking is an amazing industry. To be on the road by yourself with your truck and making money living for yourself , it’s a beautiful thing if done right. (Owner operator is what I’m talking about )
Why dont they make an a.i. to think of ideas so Dell can save money wit employees.
Truck drivers eat, rest, and sleep. AI don't.
why dont they have more trains in the US
Even a train on rails need a conductor.
Youtube sucks
I wonder if they work at night , or have to find a place by themself to ‚sleep‘
… trains my peeps
broooo pls just build more railways whats so hard at understanding that cmon
Why this people are making weird noises with their mouth and voices like they can't speak normal???
Autonomous system will kill people on the road and it will affects everyone economy!
what happens if a person walks infront of the truck? – dont we need to change everything to make it safe, close off roads, so no person can walk there.
