00:22Torque Robotics, a subsidiary of Daimler Truck, recently reached a major milestone with the Frightliner Cascadia.
00:30They successfully tested the driver out functionality for autonomous trucks on a test track in Texas.
00:38This represents a real step forward in the development of autonomous technology, as the truck was safely controlled at speeds of up to 105 kilometers per hour without a driver on board.
00:50The test represents a crucial step towards making autonomous trucks ready for the market by 2027.
00:56Johanna Butler, head of the autonomous technology group at Daimler Truck, emphasizes the significance of this success.
01:04She explains that the Frightliner Cascadia is the first truck to feature dual safety systems, thus forming the basis for autonomous driving.
01:14The successful achievement of driver out functionality on a protected test track is an outstanding achievement by the Torque and Daimler Truck teams.
01:26This result marks not only a technological but also a strategic step forward towards the scalability and market release of autonomous trucks.
01:34Torque Robotics combines advanced artificial intelligence with a robust system architecture and safety-relevant hardware to develop a software product that meets the highest safety standards.
01:47Peter Warhan Schmidt, CEO of TAR, emphasizes how reliable the tests with the fully integrated platform of the Freightliner Cascadia have been.
01:59He looks forward to soon offering a solution that perfectly combines safety, cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness and meets the requirements of customers.
02:12The development of the driver out functionality is therefore an essential step on the way to introducing autonomous commercial truck applications.
02:20Up to now, highly trained safety drivers have always been on board to intervene in emergencies.
02:28However, this test shows that Torque's software is already capable of safely navigating highways, country roads and controlled intersections.
02:38Founded in 2005, Torque Robotics has been one of the most experienced companies in the autonomous driving sector.
02:45Headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia, the company provides comprehensive software and integration solutions for self-driving vehicles and is currently focused on developing autonomous trucks for long-haul operations in the United States.
03:00Torque also operates a test center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has locations in Austin, Texas, Montreal, Canada, and Stuttgart, Germany.
03:09That's it for now.
