TL;DR

Volkswagen is set to begin testing self-driving cars in the US this month, starting with a fleet of 10 modified ID.Buzz electric vans in Austin. The vehicles will use Mobileye's Level 4 self-driving system to collect driving data and refine the technology. VW plans to expand its testing to at least four more US cities and aims to launch a commercial self-driving service in Austin by 2026. The company also intends to offer fleets of driverless ID.Buzz EVs to other mobility and transportation companies. This move reflects VW's transformation into a mobility company and its efforts to compete with other robotaxi rivals in the US.
