How Argo, Ford, and Lyft Will Scale Driverless Ride-Hailing in Miami, Austin and Beyond

Today, Argo AI announced a new partnership with Lyft that will accelerate our deployment of Ford driverless vehicles for ride-hailing.

Through this industry-first collaboration, companies with the three key aspects required to launch, validate and scale an autonomous ride-hailing service in cities are directly working together: the self-driving system developed by the Argo AI team; the vehicles manufactured by one of our partners, Ford Motor Company; and the riders on Lyft’s transportation network. Together, we will first launch in Miami and Austin, with plans being finalized to scale to a fleet of approximately 1,000 self-driving vehicles operating across more markets. But that’s just the start.
