A Decade After DARPA: Argo AI's View On The State Of The Art In Self-Driving Cars

October 16, 2017 by Ford

OCT 16, 2017 - DEARBORN, MICH. -- A decade ago, the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge unofficially kicked off today's self-driving technology initiatives, and highlighted the need for more advanced computational power and algorithm development. Many Argo AI team members have been in the field of robotics and self-driving cars for well over a decade, and as we now work to bring this technology to the masses, we are leveraging our extensive expertise including our learnings from the DARPA Urban Challenge.

Just a few months shy of its first birthday, the Argo AI team has grown to nearly 200 employees and now has test vehicles on the road in Pittsburgh and Southeast Michigan.
