Volkswagen will help Ford with crewless vehicles

The partnership of companies will be beneficial for both parties, but Volkswagen will cost 2.6 billion US dollars.

The investments of the German company Volkswagen AG for Ford Motor partner Argo Al (it specializes in the production of UAVs) will amount to $2.6 billion. The real cost of this startup reaches $7 billion.

Argo promises to create technology for driving for Volkswagen AG and put the systems into commercial use, continuing to work with the concern Ford.

We add that the rest of the large companies are also united to create uncrewed vehicles. For example, GM Cruise (part of General Motors) is preparing drive technology with Honda Motor Co., which invests $2.75 billion in the company.
