Day 2 of #LongHorizon#PhysicalAI
Autonomous trucking requires learned systems capable of seeing farther, planning earlier, and handling out-of-sample scenarios. In this Anyscale Ray Summit keynote, @torc_robotics Head of AI Felix Heide (@_FelixHeide_ )explains the AV 3.0 architecture capable of handling this complexity, including the emergence of zero- and few-shot planning capabilities from self- and mixed-play reinforcement learning training with billions of simulated miles. bit.ly/4xv3mh4 hashtag#TorcDriven
What does no shortcuts on safety look like? Steve Kenner, Torc’s Chief Safety Officer, breaks down how we’re building autonomous trucks to make smart, safe decisions- mile after mile. Because around here, safety isn’t a box to check. It’s the whole point.
Super excited to share this unedited fully autonomous truck ride! We're seeing strong zero-shot planning capabilities emerge from self- and mixed-play RL training at scale in complex situations. Our stack has not been trained on scenarios from this unseen route, and the generalization capabilities are tremendous!
Proud of the @torc_robotics team for their work on this frontier architecture for autonomous driving.
Autonomous tech is moving into real-world trucking, with Torc Robotics’ software powering Freightliner Cascadias and using AI to train virtual drivers.

Heading to #Autonomous2026?
Join our Field CTO, Christian Stano, as he takes the stage with leaders from @KodiakRobotics, @Torc_Robotics, and @BotAutoAV for "The Race to Driverless Freight."
They'll discuss the compute and safety layers driving the future of autonomous freight and AV innovation.
See you there!
Fireside Announcement🎙️
Driverless Freight, Built Inside a Global Truckmaker.
A fireside with Peter Vaughan Schmidt of @torc_robotics, moderated by @Reuters' @abhiruproy30.
🗓️ San Francisco, July 16th
📍 The Midway
🎟️ autonomousfuture.co
Torc builds driverless trucks from inside one of the largest truckmakers on earth. A truly unique position to be in.
Torc develops autonomous Class 8 long-haul trucks as an independent subsidiary of Daimler Truck, which holds a majority stake. The software team builds on the company's manufacturing, dealer network, and freight relationships, rather than recreating everything from scratch
One of the few credible answers to how autonomous trucking reaches the road at scale.
Coming to the stage at #AUTONOMOUS2026
How driverless freight actually gets priced, sold, and integrated into fleet operations has barely been worked out.
We're delighted to have Chief Commercial Officer of @torc_robotics, Andrew Culhane, join us at AUTONOMOUS.
→ Leads go-to-market for Torc, the part of autonomous trucking that the industry has spent the least time solving
→ His perspective is grounded in the operational reality of selling autonomy to fleets running on tight margins
→ Torc operates inside Daimler Truck, giving it OEM distribution and integration that few AV startups can match
Join Andrew, 50 curated speakers and 500 attendees in San Francisco, July 16th for our premier event.

🚛⚡ Sometimes the most powerful moments at a transportation conference happen outside.
Spotted in the parking lot at ITS Detroit: The Torc Freightliner Cascadia, with 5 Innoviz LiDAR sensors mounted around the exterior of the truck, covering every angle.
While the industry gathered inside to talk about the future of intelligent transportation, the future was parked right outside.
Autonomous trucking is no longer just a headline. It's showing up. 👀

Autonomous trucking has been technically credible for almost a decade. Whether it scales has never been about the stack. It's about who can sell driverless freight to fleets at commercial terms.
@torc_robotics runs the autonomous trucking arm of Daimler Truck, one of the few AV companies with deep OEM integration behind it.
We're delighted to have CEO Dr Peter Vaughan Schmidt join us at AUTONOMOUS.
→ Leads Torc inside the Daimler Truck ecosystem, the integration most AV trucking startups never had access to
→ Torc has been running commercial pilot routes between Dallas and Houston, preparing for broader driverless freight deployment
→ The Daimler-backed model is one of the most credible commercial bets in the AV industry, and Peter is the one executing it

Establishing a clear, unified federal roadmap is the single most important hurdle for the widespread deployment of self-driving vehicle technology.
Andrew Culhane, Chief Commercial Officer at Torc Robotics, shares insights on the ongoing debate surrounding standardizing autonomous transport rules. A common policy framework that balances rigorous safety metrics with complete industry transparency gives logistics networks the absolute legal certainty needed to roll out large-scale testing across state lines.
Texas has solidified its position as the ultimate testing ground for the future of automated logistics.
Andrew Culhane points out why the state is an ideal sandbox for cutting-edge transit. Mass cross-border trade pipelines moving through Laredo demand a continuous flow of capacity, and when massive cargo volumes are combined with a consistent, supportive state framework, it creates an environment perfectly optimized for deploying long-haul autonomous fleets.
