Argo AI LLC was an autonomous driving technology company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company was co-founded in 2016 by Bryan Salesky and Peter Rander, previously part of the Google and Uber automated driving programs. Argo AI was an independent company that built software, hardware, maps, and cloud-support infrastructure to power self-driving vehicles. The company was mostly backed by Ford Motor Co. (2017) and the Volkswagen Group (2020). At its peak, the company was valued at $7 billion. In October 2022 it was announced by Ford that the Argo would be disbanded and some employees would be split between VW and Ford. Argo's technology was further developed in-house by Ford and VW. Ford stated their intent to change the focus of development from Level 4 autonomous driving to Level 3 and Level 2+. In a statement to the press, Ford CEO Jim Farley said, "profitable, fully autonomous vehicles at scale are a long way off."
