Volkswagen begins testing its self-driving microbuses in Los Angeles ahead of launch with Uber

Volkswagen subsidiary MOIA America and Uber have started testing autonomous microbuses in Los Angeles, the companies announced Wednesday, the latest step as they prepare to launch a robotaxi service by late 2026.

A year ago, MOIA America and Uber unveiled an ambitious plan to launch a commercial robotaxi service — using autonomous versions of Volkswagen’s electric ID. Buzz minivan — in multiple U.S. cities over the next decade. Los Angeles is the first city on that list.
