Proprietary Active Learning System Drives Rapid Improvements Edge Cases Irre gula r Ob j ects Irregular Conditions • Finding and solving edge cases is critical to the deployment of safe self - driving • Our Active Learning pipeline is fed by uploading fleet data to our cloud - based selection engine • The selection engine identifies edge cases by uniformly sampling and analyzing detection uncertainty for object existence, class and position across multiple permutations of the deployed model, culminating with a rank order of relative data value • With the most valuable data automatically identified, we can focus our labeling and training efforts to provide the quickest, most effective feedback loop for the Embark Driver – resulting in constantly improving performance Model Training Selection Engine Using Real World Situations To Rapidly Improve Performance Active Learning Deployed Model / Data Gathering Valuable Data 11

 

Vision Map Fusion & Scene Understanding Enable Robustness • Using proprietary techniques, Vision Map Fusion uses a non - linear optimization approach to fuse local vehicle poses with global map geometry in real - time, enabling on - the - fly map corrections • Making map corrections in real - time allows for dramatically improved accuracy and robustness of near - field lane geometry estimation, while also unifying the corrected near - field topology with the far - field map to create a static scene used in downstream operations • Our approach is designed to be less map reliant and more capable of handling the constantly changing road environment • By correcting map errors on the fly, Vision Map Fusion can facilitate safer, more scalable, and more efficient operations compared to alternative map - centric approaches 12 Grady Williams • PhD Robotics from Georgia Tech • Creator of MPPI (Model Predictive Path Integral) algorithm • Widely cited in vehicle control, robotics and other research Mov i ng Be y ond Brit t le, Map - Cent r ic Appro a c h es Vision Map Fusion

Top Shippers and Carriers are Partnering with Embark Partners are investing to prepare their businesses to scale Embark autonomous trucks Embark is working with shippers and carriers to analyze their nationwide freight networks at a lane level and develop detailed rollout plans for converting portions of these networks to autonomous Embark is hauling with carriers and shippers to refine operations today , paving the way for partners to quickly, safely and effectively scale autonomous trucking Embark is working closely with carriers today to define business model details such as dispatching, monitoring, maintenance, liability and transfer hub availability, resulting in a clear path to scale 16

 

• Aligned with the reality that most major carriers run mixed fleets — Nearly 90% of top 25 carriers run 2+ OEMs and ~50% run 3+ OEMs • Carriers are the ultimate decision makers on component selection Market Dynamics Supplier 1 Supplier 2 S uppli e r 3 S uppli e r 4 Component OEM 1 OEM 2 Carrier OEMs multi - source parts from several suppliers to provide a menu to Carrier Carrier selects components from each OEM menu Carrier multi - sources from several OEMs Carrier is the ultimate decision maker We currently purchase trucks from multiple OEMs and plan to continue this strategy to optimize the experience for our drivers and meet our Total Cost of Ownership objectives. Embark's investment to integrate its autonomous driving system with the major OEMs will allow us to test and deploy autonomous trucking capabilities without introducing a new OEM into our fleet for that sole purpose. - Trevor Fridfinnson Chief Operating Officer at Bison Transport 17 Why We Think Being Platform - Agnostic is Important

 

Specs / Module Designs Component Package APIs Interf a c e Package Embark Universal Interface (EUI) • Standardized sensor and compute systems determined through thousands of hours of design, testing and analysis • Custom flexible physical, electrical and software interfaces enable platform - agnostic integration to any drive - by - wire actuators, chassis, power and HVAC EUI Production Plan Near Future • We anticipate OEMs will ship their first production trucks with redundant drive - by - wire in the near future. • Embark is in active dialogue with OEMs as they plan which sensor and compute options to offer to carriers on top of redundant drive - by - wire. • Truck OEMs expected to offer multiple AV options to carriers • Multiple non - exclusive integrations • In line with how OEMs currently provide factory options for multiple major engine, brake and telematics solutions today • Carriers make the ultimate decision on which AV system to spec based on price, coverage map and ability to be used across their fleet Expected Equilibrium State 2018 - 2021 • Embark has engaged with all 4 major US OEMs for many years - tracking as they each progress towards offering proprietary redundant drive - by - wire platforms. • In parallel, Embark has developed our Embark Universal Interface with flexible interfaces are easily configured to integrate with any drive - by - wire. 18

Carriers operate self - driving trucks between highway - adjacent locations on Embark coverage map Coverage Map Supercharges Scale - Up Number of start/stop locations expands rapidly by adding ecosystem real - estate to the coverage map: • Current truck stops act as ideal transfer points that can be used by all carriers • Highway - adjacent shipper locations can be added directly to coverage map, boosting efficiency and stickiness Highways are the ideal first application for self - driving Vision Map Fusion simplifies adding locations to coverage map Hu m a n Dr i ve r Autonomous Driving Transfer Point Drayage “first mile” Drayage “last mile” Autonomous Highway Segment TRANSFER POINT Cu st o m e r Facilities Transfer Point 38

 

Real Estate Partners Accelerate Expansion 39 Leveraging the Strengths of Potential Real Estate and Retail Players, including PFJ, will Dramatically Decrease Time to Market Example: PFJ’s Network • 800+ highway adjacent sites located near freight areas • Purpose built for class - 8 truck traffic • On site fuel and ancillary services including tire, maintenance, and dispatch support Pilot Flying J
