Highlights

    Argo AI, the now shut self-driving technology unit of Ford and Volkswagen, will lay off 78 employees in Austin on Tuesday, according to a notice to the Texas Workforce Commission.

    The Pittsburg-based Argo AI earlier this year commenced driverless operations in Austin and Miami.

    Ford said last week it will wind down Argo, saying creating self-driving "robotaxis" will be "harder than putting a man on the moon."

    Ford and Volkswagen said some Argo personnel will be offered positions with the automakers.

    Argo referred questions to Ford and Volkswagen.
