ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- May Mobility, a leading developer of autonomous driving technology for commercial ride-hail, today announced its plan to bring the iconic Volkswagen ID. Buzz to global robotaxi platforms, powered by May Mobility's autonomous driving system. May Mobility targets deployment of more than 10,000 autonomous ID. Buzz vehicles through 2031.

The plan includes delivery of Volkswagen ID. Buzz vehicles adapted to May Mobility's autonomous driving kit (ADK) design requirements, creating a production platform well-positioned for scaling autonomous vehicle (AV) fleets, with the first production vehicles targeted for delivery in 2028.

May Mobility will leverage its previously announced alliance with ECARX (Nasdaq: ECX), a leading global automotive intelligence company, to integrate May Mobility's autonomous driving system into the AV-ready version of the ID. Buzz, which May Mobility will deploy with its fleet operator partners. Development is already underway, with on-road testing in the U.S. beginning in early 2027. May Mobility also said that its supply chain collaboration with ECARX and Charlton Intelligence.ai will support the company's all-in targeted cost savings of 50%+ relative to its current-generation vehicle.

"Scaling autonomous ride-hail depends heavily on the vehicle platform, and the Volkswagen ID. Buzz gives us one well suited for it," said Dr. Edwin Olson, CEO and Founder of May Mobility. "We think riders will love the ID. Buzz running on May Mobility's autonomous driving system, and the vehicle will be built on economics that can scale with the robotaxi market."

The ID. Buzz supports May Mobility's ambition to pair an industry-leading rider experience with its autonomy, giving riders a new reason to choose autonomous ride-hail.
