I look forward to the discussion on autonomous driving with my fellow panelists and hosts Martin Kellner and Kersten Heineke from McKinsey & Company tomorrow. Great to be able to share my perspective from the Torc Robotics side. See registration link below to join.
“Autonomous Driving Reality Check: What 90+ Experts Now Believe About AV’s Future” 🚗🤖 Are we still on track for autonomous driving at scale – or have expectations quietly shifted? Ahead of our webinar tomorrow we are hosting together with Ride AI, here are three takeaways from 90+ industry experts: 🔹 The hype is over – now it’s about hard trade-offs Experts are less focused on bold AV promises – and much more on viable business models, cost, and meeting regulation. The race is shifting from “if AVs will happen” to “how and where they can scale profitably.” 🔹 L2+ is emerging as the real mass-market hero Nearly half of experts see L2+ as the core mass-market offering by 2035, while L3 is increasingly viewed as a niche, premium feature, not the mainstream answer. 🔹 Cost & AI architecture will decide the winners Ramping up to higher autonomy levels can imply multiples of today’s development and validation costs – which is why most experts bet on hybrid AI approaches, not pure end-to-end, to balance performance and safety. Kersten Heineke and I will debate these findings live with an outstanding panel: 👤 Dave Tokic from Torc Robotics 👤 Malte E. from BMW Group 👤 Sascha Meyer from MOIA 👤 Talmi Fridman from Mobileye Link for registration: https://lnkd.in/geqgq8SU

The future of autonomous trucking isn’t just built in code- it’s built by people. At 3pm CT TODAY, Torc's Wayne Epps, MBA takes the stage to break down how talent pipelines and scalable systems shape the next era of this industry. If you want the inside track on building a workforce ready for autonomy, this is the session to catch. https://bit.ly/44zv7JP #TorcDriven

When you’re building autonomous trucks for the real world, every sensor has a job to do. Today, Daimler Truck North America. Daimler Truck AG and Torc Robotics selected Innoviz Technologies as our short-range LiDAR partner for series production of Level 4 autonomous Class 8 trucks. InnovizTwo will sit at the front lines of perception- capturing the close-range detail our virtual driver needs to navigate real-world conditions with confidence. https://bit.ly/4r65U3r #TorcDriven

300 engineers. Five minutes. One cloud platform. That’s how fast innovation moves when you’re building autonomous trucks. With Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Amazon DCV, our teams spin up GPU-ready workstations in minutes. https://bit.ly/43ZH6jw #TorcDriven

Torc’s AV 3.0 is how our virtual driver learns, adapts, and improves, from billions of simulated miles to real-world runs on embedded hardware. It’s autonomy built like a product, not a prototype, and a system that only gets smarter from here. https://bit.ly/3UVVCE4 #TorcDriven
