Embark Trucks

Embark Trucks was an autonomous-trucking company founded in 2016 and backed by Y Combinator, building a self-driving software stack (the Embark Driver) for Class 8 semi-trucks operating on interstate highway freight lanes. The company went public via a SPAC merger with Northern Star Investment Corp II in late 2021, but wound down operations in November 2023 after failing to secure additional funding; its autonomous-driving technology and engineering assets were subsequently acquired by Applied Intuition. Embark never operated a public developer platform, REST API, or developer portal, so this API Evangelist profile is an identity record rather than a live API. Its only surviving public technical surface is the embarktrucks GitHub organization, which hosts open-source robotics and autonomous-vehicle tooling (ROS drivers, LIDAR/camera integrations, and the webviz visualization libraries) rather than first-party API client SDKs.

Embark Trucks is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Autonomous Vehicles, Self-Driving, Trucking, and Freight.
