Ford Motor Co.’s Argo AI unit and Carnegie Mellon University are establishing a joint research center for autonomous vehicle technology at the university’s main campus in Pittsburgh.
Argo has agreed to invest $15 million in the facility over the next five years to help support five faculty and doctoral students.
The researchers initially will focus on testing self-driving cars in winter conditions and complex driving scenarios, such as navigating through construction zones.
Carnegie Mellon, which has long been a leader in artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicle research, recently introduced its Argoverse platform for computer vision, sensor fusion and high-definition mapping.
Argo was co-founded in 2016 by Bryan Salesky and Peter Rander, both of whom came from Carnegie Mellon’s National Robotics Engineering Center. Ford invested $1 billion in Argo in 2017. The companies aim to launch vehicles with Level 4 driving capability in 2021.
