Uber Technologies and MOIA America announced plans to deploy autonomous ID. Buzz vehicles on the Uber platform in Los Angeles by the end of 2026.
The partnership has entered the on-road testing phase, with MOIA operating a growing fleet of autonomous vehicles equipped with human safety operators. The companies aim to expand the fleet to over 100 vehicles during testing, with a longer-term goal of scaling to thousands across multiple U.S. cities.
The initiative builds on a strategic collaboration launched in 2025 and leverages MOIA’s autonomous driving technology alongside Uber’s global ride-hailing platform. The ID. Buzz vehicles are designed specifically for autonomous mobility services.
The project marks a significant step toward commercializing driverless ride-hailing, with Los Angeles serving as the initial launch market before broader expansion.
