Volkswagen and Uber's partnership aims to deploy a commercial robotaxi service using autonomous electric ID. Buzz vehicles nationwide by 2030. Testing will commence in Los Angeles later this year, with oversight from human safety operators initially, transitioning to fully driverless operations by 2027. This initiative reflects Volkswagen's ambition in the autonomous vehicle market and aligns with recent federal regulatory support for autonomy, aiming to maintain U.S. leadership in automotive innovation against global competition, notably from China.
"Volkswagen is not just a car manufacturer - we are shaping the future of mobility, and our collaboration with Uber accelerates that vision," said Christian Senger, CEO of Volkswagen Autonomous Mobility.
The Trump administration's recent policy shift supports initiatives like VW and Uber's partnerships by easing federal safety rules and crash reporting requirements on autonomous vehicle development.
