Meet The Team

Argo AI's Autonomous Vehicle System Test Specialists (AVSTSs) are responsible for operating our autonomous vehicles on public roads to enable Argo to continue its testing, monitoring, and development of its Autonomous Vehicle System (AVS). Prior to getting behind the wheel, all AVSTSs undergo a rigorous training program which, among other things, teaches them about the underlying technology of Argo's platforms. More generally, but equally as important, AVSTSs learn Argo's vehicle operating procedures to ensure the safety of the communities in which Argo operates. Once training is complete, AVSTSs are ready to safely take to the road and begin helping our engineers and developers in their continuous efforts to improve Argo's autonomous vehicle software. Be sure to check out our website to learn more about how our AVSTSs play a key role in how we test!

• Proactively scan and evaluate dynamic traffic environments while always remaining ready to disengage the autonomous driving function in the event the need arises or safety requires it
