Torc self driving car summer compilation video

Published on Sep 29, 2017

Torc's self-driving car team had a busy summer as we improved capabilities, expanded testing environments, and completed a successful cross-country trip totaling 4300+ autonomous miles.

In all scenes within this video, the car is driving completely autonomously. Highlights include:
- Stop sign and traffic light detection
- Autonomous driving in rain and traffic
- Autonomous lane changes and merging
- Newly released footage of the autonomous cross-country trip, a trip which spanned 20 states.

Torc company overview

Published on Jan 8, 2018

Torc Robotics is an autonomous vehicle technology firm that has developed a complete self-driving system for consumer automobiles. Its self-driving car technology is based on commercially proven systems that Torc has developed over the past decade for safety-critical situations such as mining and
defense.

The Torc team is passionate about robotics and is dedicated to making the world safer and more accessible through its autonomous systems, according to Michael Fleming, CEO and co-founder.

Torc first established itself as a leader in autonomous vehicles in 2007, when its vehicle placed third in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Urban Challenge, a ~60 mile course which required vehicles to travel through on and off-road environments autonomously and navigate through situations like parking lots, road blocks, and merging while obeying traffic laws.

While many members of the other winning teams joined Google’s autonomous driving project, Torc retained 85 percent of its talent. Since then, Torc has continuously improved upon its technology—successfully applying it to a variety of commercial ground vehicles, from large mining trucks to military vehicles.

“We have been developing our autonomous systems and have resolved issues in hazardous environments with no or little pavement. Applying our technology to the safer, engineered paths of modern roads is a logical step,” Fleming says.

“We have been waiting for the time when it would be feasible to apply to consumer cars,” Fleming says. “That time is now.”
