Volkswagen-owned company MOIA debuted the ID. Buzz AD, its first fully autonomous production vehicle, specifically designed for use as a robotaxi.
The vehicle is part of an end-to-end solution that also includes a software ecosystem and services for operators of autonomous mobility services.
“With our fully autonomous complete solution, we are creating a mobility offering that is unique in this form: cities, municipalities, and fleet operators can provide autonomous mobility for all simply and reliably. Our driverless ID. Buzz shuttles are part of a fully connected 360-degree package made up of leading technology, an attractive vehicle fleet, intelligent fleet management, and a customercentric booking system—all from a single source and quickly scalable to fleet size on the road. This positions the Volkswagen Group among the frontrunners in a multi billiondollar global growth market. Hamburg is our starting point. Beginning in 2026, we will bring sustainable, autonomous mobility to large-scale deployment in Europe and the US another milestone on our path to becoming a global technology driver in the automotive industry,” said Oliver Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group.
MOIA’s solution includes a vehicle homologated to automotive standards, featuring Mobileye’s self-driving system, along with a proprietary Autonomous Driving Mobility as a Service (AD MaaS) Ecosystem Platform. The software uses artificial intelligence to manage fleets in real time, assist passengers automatically, ensure safety, and integrate seamlessly into existing booking apps. It also meets regulatory requirements for SAE Level 4 automated vehicles, such as remote supervision and safe handling of edge like emergency interventions.
The solution is rounded out by a third component: Operator Enablement. This provides full support to operators of autonomous vehicle fleets in implementing and operating an AD ecosystem – from simulation and training to deployment and live monitoring in day-to-day operations.
