Ford Motor Company is making an audacious investment. It's a daring bet of a billion dollars over 5 years on the autonomous car concept.
They're going to partner with a start-up artificial intelligence company that will develop "the brains - a virtual driver system" for their self driving cars. The company is Argo AI, and its two founders are not new-comers to this technology.
One of them is Bryan Salesky, who headed up hardware development for Google's self-driving car project. The other is Pete Rander, a former engineer at Uber Technologies.
Their goal - to bring a fully autonomous Ford vehicle to market in . . 2021.
