The autonmous driving technology company has announced that it is opening a new technology and software development centre in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, nearby the headquarters of its parent, Daimler Truck.

The company has established the Torc Autonomous Advisory Council (TAAC) with the aim of allowing logistics firms to guide and advise Torc Robotics as it develops its first commercialised autonomous truck.

The American autonomous driving technology company is looking to recruit software developers at its Texan offices to support its development of autonomous trucks with parent Daimler Truck.
