Volkswagen of America and Uber have announced a plan to launch a commercial robotaxi service using self-driving ID.BUZZ vehicles in multiple US cities.
The companies aim to launch the service in Los Angeles by late 2026, with plans to go fully driverless by 2027.
Volkswagen ADMT, the autonomous vehicle subsidiary, will begin testing in Los Angeles this year to obtain the required permits.
This partnership marks a significant step for Volkswagen ADMT as it seeks to develop its autonomous vehicle program in collaboration with Uber.
