One reason Dallas-Forth Worth was chosen was its proximity to Laredo, Texas, a major freight route located along Interstate 35. The release notes, "Laredo is the largest economic port of entry in the US, with more than 15,000 truck crossings per day and $320B in total trade last year, opening up a prime opportunity for Torc's growth." Part of the expansion comes from a recent milestone last October, when Torc Robotics successfully completed a test of its autonomous truck without a driver in a multilane closed course. The test operated at speeds up to 65 mph with a Daimler Truck Freightliner Cascadia.
