Volkswagen's MOIA and Uber Begin LA Robotaxi Testing with ID. Buzz

Volkswagen's MOIA subsidiary has begun testing autonomous ID. Buzz vehicles in Los Angeles with Uber, targeting a late 2026 launch with human safety operators and full autonomy in 2027. The multi-passenger vehicle form factor differentiates MOIA from competitors focused on sedans, potentially offering better unit economics through higher seat occupancy.
