🚀 Buckle up, LA! The future of ridesharing is zooming in with Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz AD – a retro-futuristic, all-electric autonomous van that’s set to revolutionize how we get around the City of Angels. Partnering with Uber, this game-changing program brings Level 4 self-driving tech to the streets, meaning no driver needed in designated zones. Picture this: a sleek, black van inspired by the classic VW Microbus, packed with 27 sensors including 9 LiDARs and 13 cameras for super-sharp 360-degree vision, all powered by Mobileye’s cutting-edge AI. Through Volkswagen’s MOIA subsidiary, they’re deploying thousands of these zero-emission wonders over the next decade, starting right here in Los Angeles. Testing kicked off late last year with safety drivers on board, gathering real-world data to ensure smooth, safe rides. Now, in 2026, the commercial rollout begins – hop on the Uber app, summon an ID. Buzz AD, and enjoy hands-free cruising with up to four comfy seats, ample luggage space, and a 260-mile range that charges to 80% in just 30 minutes. This isn’t just transport; it’s sustainable magic reducing traffic and emissions while blending nostalgia with next-gen innovation. From Sunset Blvd. vibes to Hollywood hills adventures, get ready for driverless fun that’s eco-friendly and effortless. Who’s excited to hail the first one? 🌴#losangeles #uber #rideshare #vw #Tech - @thisiskyrstin
