Argo AI has assembled a team of independent experts to supervise the safety of its self-driving cars

The news comes as public opinion seems to be shifting against autonomous cars (AVs), with recent polls indicating that over half of Americans believe AVs are a “poor idea” for society. It also comes as the Biden administration continues to investigate incidents involving driverless cars as it considers new industry rules.

The Argo Safety Advisory Council aims to improve the public’s view of AVs while also increasing openness to the work done behind the scenes.
