Argo AI

Argo AI was a prominent American autonomous driving technology company that focused on developing self-driving system software, hardware, and cloud-based infrastructure. Founded in 2016, the company aimed to partner with major automakers to integrate its technology into vehicles, most notably collaborating with Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group to bring autonomous ride-hailing and delivery services to market. The company operated test fleets in several major cities across the United States and Germany, focusing on complex urban driving environments. In late 2022, Argo AI ceased operations as its primary investors shifted their strategic focus toward alternative approaches to autonomous vehicle development.
