Autonomous driving – Future of mobility

Autonomous driving – from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and MOIA

At the Volkswagen Group, we are working together with MOIA to set a milestone for mobility and present: our first fully driverless production vehicle – the autonomously driven ID. Buzz, which will be on its way without a driver in the future. As part of the MOIA Turnkey Solution, cities and mobility providers will receive a complete one-stop solution for autonomous mobility: state of the art vehicle technology, intelligent software, and comprehensive operational support. The objective: safe, easy to use, and flexible driving services that conveniently take humans to their destinations. The kickoff is scheduled in Hamburg with other cities in Europe and the USA to follow. This is how MOIA uses autonomous driving to design the mobility of tomorrow even today – for everyone.

Ridepooling is a dynamic mobility concept that is designed based on demand (Mobility-as-a-Service). Multiple passengers share a vehicle to travel the same or a similar route. Because of the autonomous operation, the offer, compared to driver-based services, can be expanded quickly and efficiently to serve a larger and consistently growing number of customers. And it is exactly here, where the autonomously driven ID. Buzz comes into play with its excellent vehicle size for this type of service. After all, it is spacious enough to not only transport passengers, but also packages, comfortably and efficiently – such as for smart transport solutions (Transportation-as-a-Service). By the way, the driverless autonomously driven ID. Buzz is booked as usual. At the pick-up point, a smartphone or PIN pad is used for access, and the doors open and close automatically.

On June 17, 2025, the production version of the autonomously driven ID. Buzz celebrated its world premier during the UITP Summit that took place in Hamburg. One of the most important worldwide congresses for public transportation networks (ÖPNV) was the backdrop for the presentation of the new autonomous driverless vehicle. Following the MOIA +6 on the basis of the VW Crafter, the autonomously driven ID. Buzz is already the second vehicle specifically designed for on-demand services. Both vehicles are all-electric. However, only the autonomously driven ID. Buzz drives driverless and in accordance with automation level 4.

    Everything for autonomous driving on board

    The production version of the autonomously driven ID. Buzz is equipped with a total of 27 sensors, including 13 cameras, nine LiDAR and five radars. This allows the autonomously driven ID. Buzz to generate a comprehensive, redundant 360-degree image of its surrounding area. In combination with precise map data, intelligent route guidance, and Cloud-based system updates, they ensure smooth and safe driving in traffic. When it comes to the self-driving assist system of the autonomously driven ID. Buzz, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is counting on Mobileye, one of the worldwide leading specialists for driving assist systems and autonomous driving. In line with statutory requirements, the Level-4 capable on-demand vehicle is equipped with braking, steering and power supply systems.

    Convenience aims at safety

    As always, the interior of the autonomously driven ID. Buzz awaits passengers with the high-quality equipment of the ID. Buzz they have come to know. The development of the autonomously driven ID. Buzz also took the passengers’ desires and expectations into account. An extended wheelbase and increased roof line offer ideal prerequisites for a low-barrier entry and thereby access to four comfortable individual seats. There is also plenty of space for luggage: two front and rear luggage compartments are ready for the passengers’ suitcases and bags. 

    The autonomously driven ID. Buzz comes with high safety standards: yellow seat belts and grab handles ensure fast orientation. Tactile elements, Braille labelling and buttons on every seat ensure easy operation. The realtime monitoring of each vehicle is also a true plus when it comes to safety.

Driverless driving under supervision

It is necessary to test the autonomously driven ID. Buzz under safe conditions and in a planned area of operation. At present, a safe driver is still on board during testing. This enables us to collect valuable experiences and data, and to operate the autonomously driven ID. Buzz reliably and safely on public roads.

The safety drivers always bear full responsibility for the vehicle. They are carefully trained, tested, and examined by us. In addition, MOIA analyses and verifies the technology used before use to ensure that it is error-free and usable for the safety drivers to avert possible risks.

Advantages for urban mobility

More safety in traffic with fewer emissions: We firmly believe that the use of autonomous driverless vehicles in on-demand services has a significant social benefit. Cities around the world are longing for safer, more efficient and climate-friendly transport. We believe that on-demand solutions play a crucial role in this. As a pioneer in this field, MOIA is already making an important contribution to this and shows how ridepooling can optimise urban traffic. Once again, driverless driving increases the quality of life and safety for all, and provides more options for independent mobility – for a more inclusive society.
