Torc Robotics, headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia, offers a complete autonomous software solution for the trucking/freight industry. Torc was acquired by Daimler – the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America – in August 2019.  We are working together to develop highly automated trucks to improve the safety and efficiency of transporting goods.  

We are experts in providing autonomous vehicle solutions and we partner with other industry leaders to bring this new technology to work in the real world. Our mission is to change freight movement and save lives through safer roads and the efficient transport of critical goods. We believe that autonomous trucking will prevent the fatalities and injuries that happen on the road every year due to human error.
