"Validating our hardware and software together on public roads is a critical step in the marathon toward autonomous trucking commercialization," says Felix Heide, head of artificial intelligence at Torc. "Each new hardware generation allows us to further validate our AI inference models, strengthen our simulation accuracy and ensure our autonomous system performs safely and reliably in real world conditions."
Torc is a subsidiary of Daimler Truck. It was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Blacksburg, Va., with offices in Montreal, Ann Arbor and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
