5,000 autonomous vehicles planned: MOIA launches a major project in the United States
MOIA America, a company of the Volkswagen Group, and the U.S. provider Beep have entered into a strategic partnership to introduce autonomous mobility solutions in public transport. As both companies announced on April 23, 2026, over the next ten years a fleet of up to 5,000 autonomous vehicles is to be built. The market entry will take place in the Orlando region in the U.S. state of Florida.
Turnkey platform for operators
According to the companies, MOIA America provides a turnkey solution. This includes specially developed, for autonomous operation designed vehicles of the type “ID. Buzz” with a Mobileye self-driving system. In addition, a Mobility-as-a-Service software platform as well as training and operations support for transport operators are included.
The integrated platform is intended to enable operators to deploy autonomous vehicle systems efficiently, monitor them, and integrate them into existing microtransit networks. The target group includes, among others, cities, municipalities, transportation authorities, residential neighborhoods, and large campus areas.
Fleet build-out over ten years
As part of the cooperation, both partners plan to deploy up to 5,000 autonomous ID. Buzz vehicles in several US markets. The focus is on applications in public transit and in the shared mobility segment.
Validation tests of a first fleet have begun in Lake Nona, Florida. Initial ride offerings are planned for the year 2026. During the test and deployment phase, the vehicles will initially be operated with safety drivers on board.
Tests also in other U.S. cities
MOIA America, based in Belmont, California, is already testing autonomous vehicles in Los Angeles and Austin. The activities in Orlando mark the next step in expanding the autonomous mobility strategy in the United States. (Source: MOIA America)
