Daimler Subsidiary Torc Zeroes On Amazon Cloud For Self-Driving Trucks - Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Daimler AG (OTC: DDAIF) (OTC: DMLRY) Truck subsidiary Torc Robotics has designated Amazon.com, Inc’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its cloud provider for data transfer, storage, and compute capacity for the deployment of its fleet of self-driving test trucks in New Mexico and Virginia.
Torc is responsible for the commercializing of Level 4 autonomous systems for trucking customers.
AWS’s quick, secure data transfer, smart tiered storage, organized orchestration and analytics tools, and high-performance multi-core CPU and GPU compute will assist Torc in the quick scale-up of the agile and cost-efficient development platform and fast-track its testing and commercialization of the technology.
Torc’s test fleet in New Mexico has generated petabytes of data (1 petabyte is 1 million gigabytes) from tests on public roads.
Torc’s end-to-end software stack gathers and processes raw data from multiple sensors, including lidar, radar, and cameras.
The next generation of test trucks has integrated more sensors at higher resolutions for object detection at longer ranges apart from expanding the routes and fleet size.
