Uber begins testing its Volkswagen ID. Buzz robotaxi fleet in LA
"The companies say they're still on track for driverless rides in LA in late 2026, marking a significant milestone in autonomous transportation."
"The ID. Buzz is Volkswagen's modern take on the automaker's classic 'hippie van' microbus, featuring minivan-style sliding doors and seating for up to seven people."
"After selling its in-house self-driving unit in 2020, Uber pivoted to a new strategy of partnering with multiple AV companies to enhance its autonomous ride offerings."
Uber is set to launch Volkswagen ID. Buzz robotaxis in Los Angeles, with on-road testing currently underway. The partnership aims to deploy thousands of these vehicles across the US over the next decade, starting in LA. The ID. Buzz, a modern electric version of Volkswagen's classic microbus, can seat up to seven people and has a range of 234 miles per charge. Uber has shifted its strategy to partner with various autonomous vehicle companies for future services, including Waymo and Avride in the US and WeRide overseas.
