Volkswagen and Uber are joining forces in an exciting new partnership. Together, they aim to launch a fleet of fully autonomous ID. Buzz vehicles. The autonomous model, known as the ID. Buzz AD, will debut in Los Angeles, CA, later this year. Over the next decade, Uber and Volkswagen plan to expand the ID. Buzz AD’s presence across markets nationwide.
About the Partnership
Volkswagen and Uber are teaming up to introduce the VW ID. Buzz AD for several key reasons. The ID. Buzz AD is an autonomous version of Volkswagen’s popular new electric van, the ID. Buzz. This model combines the zero-emissions benefits of an electric vehicle with the convenience and safety of autonomous driving, offering riders a smoother and easier Uber experience. Although the ID. Buzz AD can handle many driving scenarios on its own, Uber will have drivers onboard to oversee operations and ensure the technology functions as intended. The autonomous driving system in the ID. Buzz AD is provided by MOIA, an autonomous mobility company owned by Volkswagen. Through this partnership, Volkswagen looks forward to expanding autonomous mobility options across the U.S. Both companies are enthusiastic about working together to shape the “future of transportation.” While the first ID. Buzz AD will launch in Los Angeles, thousands of these vehicles are expected to enter service nationwide in the years ahead.
About the ID. Buzz
The ID. Buzz is a highly rated electric vehicle inspired by the iconic VW Bus, with modern updates that appeal to today’s drivers. Fully electric and environmentally friendly, the ID. Buzz offers a spacious interior with three rows of seating, making it ideal for families and groups. It also provides generous storage space and a wide range of tech features to keep passengers connected and entertained. Safety is another standout feature of the ID. Buzz, and its unique styling and bold color options make it a fun and eye-catching choice.
