Volkswagen Unveils Self-Driving ID. Buzz Robotaxi for 2026 Launch
Imagine a cool, electric van that can drive itself!
Volkswagen just showed off its ID.
Buzz Robotaxi, a van that will pick up and drop off passengers without a driver.
It's packed with sensors like cameras and lasers to see everything around it.
This van is designed to drive on its own in certain city areas and is expected to start operating in 2026 in places like Europe and the U.S. It's built by MOIA, a part of Volkswagen, and uses technology from Mobileye.
Inside, it has comfy seats and a system where you can use your phone to get in.
Instead of selling it to regular people, Volkswagen is selling it to companies that run fleets of vehicles or city governments.
