Argo AI, the Pittsburgh-based company majority owned by Ford and Volkswagen has begun the roll-out of its product lineup that will enable businesses to use vehicles based on its automated driving system (ADS).
Argo Drive, the core product that enables a vehicle to pilot itself through an environment is just one piece of the commercialization puzzle. A lot of other components are necessary to integrate vehicles into fleets. Argo has split its product lineup into four main groups, Argo Connect, Argo Autonomy Platform, Argo Autonomy Solutions and Autonomy Data and Analytics.
The autonomy platform itself has four pieces, Drive, Lidar, Map and Hub. Drive the ADS stack consisting of the software and hardware components in the vehicle including the perception, prediction, path planning and control as well as the sensors, actuators and compute platform. This is what every automated driving company is working on. A subset of that, the in-house developed lidar.
What Argo doesn’t plan to do with its mapping platform is compete with the current navigation map providers. “I think it's a little bit different than what other mapping providers do. So an easy way of looking at it. If you look at Apple Maps or Google Maps or Here, look at the features that they store in the map,” said Argo CTO Brett Browning.” There's very little on the road, most of it's the stuff off the road.
