Daimler Truck’s Head of the Autonomous Technology Group Peter Vaughan will take over as CEO of Torc Robotics.
Torc is cooperating with leading U.S. logistics companies to further develop the real-world applications for autonomous trucking.
What happens if a critical system stops working on a driverless truck? Daimler says it has the answer in a chassis designed specifically for autonomous technology.
"This idea that we’re just going to keep adding sensor after sensor to these trucks without eventually reinventing the chassis from the ground up doesn’t make any sense." Find out why in this HDT interview with Torc Robotics CEO Michael Fleming about autonomous-truck development.
Daimler Truck and Torc Robotics are in their third year of partnership, and are working toward commercialization of the first scalable, profitable Level 4 autonomous truck.
In the future, you may have your choice of two different versions of a Level-4 autonomous Freightliner Cascadia.
Autonomous trucks learn and think and adapt to situations just like human drivers, but they do it faster, and they never tire or become distracted. At least that’s the promise. Learn more about the technology behind autonomous trucks.
Daimler announced a strategic partnership with Luminar Technologies, a provider of automotive lidar hardware and software technology, to address a key enabling technology for autonomous truck operation, or what Daimler calls "highly automated" trucks.
Torc Robotics and Daimler Trucks North America’s co-development of autonomous truck technology takes the next step, as the second iteration of test trucks designed to work with Torc’s SAE Level 4 autonomous self-driving technology hit the road for testing.
Unlike their competitors, Daimler Trucks and Torc Robotics won’t give a definitive timeline to deployment for driverless trucks — and say that in their development, they must be built from the ground up.
