Production beats promises every time. MOIA rolled out the ID Buzz AD as VW’s first fully autonomous production vehicle, built specifically for mobility services. Dealers can sell you functioning autonomous vans today.
Engineering tells the real story. Twenty-seven sensors create the foundation for Level 4 autonomy—thirteen cameras, nine LiDARs, and five radars working together like a perfectly coordinated TikTok dance crew. Each component handles specific detection tasks, while backup systems ensure redundancy. Tesla’s camera-only approach still requires constant driver supervision.
Functionality drives every design choice. Removing the front passenger seat creates luggage storage space for ride-hailing operations. The extended wheelbase accommodates sensor hardware without compromising passenger comfort. Interior configuration prioritizes utility over luxury, delivering airport shuttle practicality rather than premium appointments.
Hamburg residents can access autonomous ID Buzz shuttles through MOIA’s pilot program. Commercial deployment expands across Europe and the United States starting in 2026. Uber’s partnership brings the service to Los Angeles first, establishing a beachhead for nationwide expansion.
MOIA’s business model addresses real operational challenges. Fleet management software handles vehicle coordination, emergency response protocols, and app integration from day one. Cities receive complete autonomous transportation systems rather than vehicles requiring additional development. Training programs prepare operators for immediate deployment.
Regulatory approval validates the technology platform. Level 4 certification confirms the ID Buzz AD operates safely without human intervention in designated areas. Your next rideshare might arrive completely driverless, marking the beginning of practical autonomous transportation.
