Volkswagen AG’s partner developing self-driving technology is just a few months away from starting to test autonomous vehicles on public roads in Germany.

Argo AI already boasts the largest test footprint of any autonomous vehicle company, with cars operating in six cities across the U.S., Chief Executive Officer Bryan Salesky said at an event Sunday with his VW counterpart Herbert Diess. The startup will deploy in Hamburg, Germany, and just opened a test track adjacent to the Munich airport.
