Volkswagen AG has agreed to invest around $2.6 billion in Ford
Motor Co.'s autonomous-vehicle partner, Argo AI, in a deal that
values the startup at $7 billion, according to people familiar with
the matter.
Ford has been the majority shareholder of Pittsburgh-based Argo
since early 2017, when it agreed to invest $1 billion.
Under the agreement with Volkswagen, to be announced Friday,
Argo would develop autonomous-driving technology for VW and
eventually supply systems for commercial use, while continuing its
development work with Ford, the people said.
