May Mobility Plans to Bring Autonomous Volkswagen ID. Buzz Vehicles to Global Robotaxi Platforms

May Mobility plans to deploy over 10,000 autonomous Volkswagen ID. Buzz vehicles through 2031.
The first production vehicles adapted for May Mobility's autonomous driving kit are targeted for delivery in 2028.
May Mobility will collaborate with ECARX to integrate its autonomous driving system into the ID. Buzz, with on-road testing in the U.S. beginning in early 2027.
A supply chain partnership with Charlton Intelligence.ai will support the deployment of the vehicles.
The collaboration aims to achieve cost savings of over 50% relative to current-generation vehicles.
The ID. Buzz features multiple entry doors, generous interior space, and an all-electric design suited for robotaxi services.
May Mobility has completed over 600,000 commercial autonomous rides across 1.1 million miles in the U.S. and Japan.
Current commercial operations include partnerships with Lyft in Atlanta, Minnesota locations in Eden Prairie and Grand Rapids, with a 2027 launch planned for Uber in Arlington, Texas.
A six-month autonomous vehicle pilot with NTT Mobility in Nagoya, Japan, launched in September.
