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.
