In the latest episode of CCJ — Commercial Carrier Journal Carrier Journal's 10-44, Torc Robotics' own Frank Mabry, Senior Analyst of Corporate Strategy, breaks down the evolving mindset around autonomous vehicles (AVs) and how self-driving semi-trucks are reshaping the freight industry. "The ongoing theory is that it [the AV] makes a decision before it gets into a bad situation." Check out the full episode to hear what’s next for the future of freight: https://bit.ly/4hZHMKd #TorcDriven #AutonomousTrucks #HereForTheLongHaul"

We're shaping the future of autonomous trucking- and industry experts are taking note. Forbes highlighted Torc Robotics’s progress toward commercialization at Manifest: The Future of Supply Chain & Logistics, emphasizing our commitment to safety, scalability, and operational excellence. As Forbes stated, "Torc Robotics is at an advanced stage. In just two years from now, the company plans to enter the market via their OEM partner Daimler Trucks." Our CEO, Peter Vaughan Schmidt, reinforced this vision: "I am super excited about the next three years. It’s really all about software testing and operations to deliver a commercially ready autonomous platform. Now, it's about building a product and building a real business—one that is safe and can scale." Get the full story: https://bit.ly/4izk0pb #TorcDriven #AutonomousTrucks #Manifest25

Good news: Our autonomous truck can now smile at you. Bad news: It can also frown. So maybe use your blinker next time. Just a thought. #AprilFools #TorcDriven

Torc hit the road in Texas last week, making stops with our autonomous trucks in Austin and Fort Worth! Thank you to the Texas Department of Transportation for having us at their AV and Drone Industry event and to the Innovation & Technology Caucus of the Texas Legislature for the opportunity to participate in its autonomous technology showcase at the Texas Capitol. We’re excited to talk about our autonomous operations in Texas as well as how we are prioritizing safety. We are also proactively working with first responders to make sure they have the information they need when they see our trucks on the roads. Collaboration and education remain essential to the success of autonomous trucking! #TorcDriven #Safety #TXDOT #InformConnectThink

Our Senior Director of Federal and Regulatory Affairs, Anne Marie Lewis, recently joined the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association for their Senate staff briefing on #autonomousvehicle policy. We're always here for an engaging discussion on the critical need for a federal AV framework to ensure safety, innovation, and U.S. leadership in this transformative industry. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and advancing smart, bipartisan AV policies! #TorcDriven #AVIA #autonomousvehicle
