Argo AI Introduces Complete Line of Autonomous Vehicle Products and Services to Serve Rideshare and Delivery

Argo AI unveiled its comprehensive suite of products and services designed to enable businesses of any size to use autonomous vehicles to enhance ridesharing or goods delivery operations. The Argo product ecosystem is customizable based on a business’s needs, bringing together cutting-edge self-driving technology, vehicle and fleet management solutions, and robust data and analytics to achieve scalable autonomous operations.

“Advancements in autonomy will improve the safety and accessibility of our roads, while also solving real business challenges,” said Brett Browning, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Product Development, Argo AI. “By creating this full suite of products and services, Argo offers businesses across a broad range of industries everything they need to take advantage of self-driving technology at scale.”

Argo created its product ecosystem by leveraging its years of experience developing, testing, and operating self-driving technology on multiple vehicle types and in eight diverse global cities. It also integrated input from a wide range of companies into its product design and development process, which allowed Argo to develop tools that serve ride hail and ride pooling, and middle- and last-mile delivery. It is currently operating consumer-facing ridesharing with Lyft, and autonomous goods delivery with Walmart.

“We know from our integrations with several businesses that customers want more than autonomous vehicles to feel confident in incorporating autonomy into existing services,” continued Browning. “They require corresponding tools and solutions that can be tailored to solve their day-to-day operational needs.”

Argo Connect
For customers looking to kickstart autonomous operations, Argo Connect is the gateway to Argo’s product ecosystem. It leverages a suite of intuitive application programming interfaces (APIs) that let businesses seamlessly integrate Argo-powered autonomous vehicles into their existing operations. Using Argo Connect, businesses can reliably schedule and dispatch autonomous vehicles to move people and packages, while creating a natural experience for their rideshare or delivery customers.

Argo Autonomy Platform
The Argo Autonomy Platform consists of the software, hardware, high definition maps, and backend support that enable Argo autonomous vehicles to safely drive in cities, suburbs and on highways. There are four products:

• Argo Drive, the self-driving software and hardware that sense the vehicle’s surroundings in 360 degrees, detect other road users and predict their actions, and direct the steering, braking and acceleration to safely plan the vehicle’s trajectory.
• Argo Lidar, the company’s proprietary long-range sensor, capable of over 400 meters range with camera-like resolution and single photon detection to recognize dark objects, like black-painted vehicles, early and with high precision. Argo Lidar is already being manufactured and has been integrated across the entire Argo fleet in two continents.
• Argo Map, a high-definition map network built with street-level knowledge of roadways, traffic infrastructure, speed limits and more. Argo has developed a turnkey process for map expansion in existing and new markets, which enables rapid scale to new cities. In the past year, Argo doubled its total mapped mileage and added two new cities to its portfolio.
• Argo Hub, a suite of cloud tools and infrastructure to support autonomous vehicles in the field. Argo Hub includes remote guidance and remote troubleshooting support, as well as map zone management to communicate real-time road changes to Argo autonomous vehicles.
