Part 1 of 3 in Torc’s series about how to prepare for a career creating autonomous vehicles. Imagine creating a machine that can perform all the complex decisions and behaviors that a human does while driving. A human driver on the highway at 70mph must navigate safely to their destination all while tracking and adapting

Asimov real-world pedestrian scenarios We don’t just share the road with other vehicles. We share the road with people as they walk, run and bike to their destinations. Our autonomous car system, Asimov, is designed to treat people differently than cars, because they move differently. Torc’s number one priority has always been safety. While navigating
Those who live in Blacksburg, Virginia, know that winter weather often happens in waves and there are a handful of significant snowfalls per year. While the snow might not accumulate here as much as in northern states, the area’s mountain roads add an additional challenge for those willing to drive in the conditions. Our Asimov
