SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 17, 2025 – MOIA has revealed the ID. Buzz AD, Volkswagen’s first fully autonomous production vehicle designed for modern mobility services. As part of a complete end-to-end system, this vehicle comes bundled with intelligent software and operational tools, offering public and private providers a fast track to deploying autonomous transport at scale.
A 360° solution for future-ready cities
With the ID. Buzz AD, MOIA is offering more than just a self-driving vehicle — it’s delivering a seamless, turnkey mobility solution. This includes vehicle technology, fleet management, and a customer-focused booking system, all ready for real-world use.
“With our fully autonomous complete solution, we are creating a mobility offering that is unique in this form: cities, municipalities and fleet operators can provide autonomous mobility for all simply and reliably,” said Oliver Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group. “Our driverless ID. Buzz shuttles are part of a fully connected 360° package made up of leading technology, an attractive vehicle fleet, intelligent fleet management and a customer-centric booking system – all from a single source and quickly scalable to fleet size on the road. This positions the Volkswagen Group among the frontrunners in a multi-billiondollar global growth market. Hamburg is our starting point. Beginning in 2026, we will bring sustainable, autonomous mobility to large-scale deployment in Europe and the US – another milestone on our path to becoming a global technology driver in the automotive industry.”
Smart technology meets everyday needs
The ID. Buzz AD is equipped with Mobileye’s advanced self-driving system and meets the stringent standards of SAE Level 4 automation. That means it can operate autonomously in defined areas, with key safety and control features built in. MOIA’s proprietary AD MaaS (Autonomous Driving Mobility as a Service) Ecosystem Platform powers the system with artificial intelligence that:
- Manages fleets dynamically in real time
- Assists passengers throughout their journey
- Ensures safety in unexpected scenarios
- Integrates easily with existing apps and infrastructure
“With the ID. Buzz AD, future technology becomes market-ready,” added Christian Senger, CEO of Volkswagen Autonomous Mobility. “By combining vehicle and software into a fully autonomous solution, we are bundling our technological expertise with a clear focus on artificial intelligence. Our goal is to create intelligent mobility solutions that can be deployed across Europe and worldwide. In doing so, we are making a tangible contribution to technological sovereignty and strengthening Germany’s role in a highly dynamic field of innovation.”
Supporting operators with hands-on enablement
MOIA’s solution also includes what it calls “operator enablement” — a robust support system that helps companies deploy and manage autonomous fleets from simulation through to daily operation.
This support covers everything from technical training to live supervision tools, making it easier for operators to bring autonomous transport into cities, suburbs, and rural areas.
“Mobility is a basic human need. Artificial intelligence opens entirely new opportunities to give people access to flexible, shared, comfortable and affordable mobility,” said Sascha Meyer, CEO of MOIA. Autonomous vehicles can help tackle challenges such as the growing driver shortage and low service demand in rural regions. “With the AD ecosystem and the ID. Buzz AD, we are creating a mobility offering that allows operators of autonomous fleets to serve cities, suburbs, and rural areas alike.”
Launching soon in Hamburg, expanding to the U.S.
The first large-scale rollout of the ID. Buzz AD is set for Hamburg in 2026, with plans to expand across Europe and the United States. For consumers, this means a future of more accessible, driverless transport that’s not only convenient and eco-friendly but also built to meet the evolving needs of everyday life.
