May Mobility announced it will equip Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric vans with its autonomous driving kit and roll them out on robotaxi services worldwide. The first production vehicles are slated for delivery in 2028, and the company targets more than 10,000 autonomous ID. Buzz units in service by 2031. May will work with ECARX on system integration and Charlton Intelligence.ai on deployment, and says the partnership will cut vehicle costs by more than half compared with its current fleet.
Why it matters
Ride‑hail operators could add a high‑capacity, all‑electric robotaxi to their fleets, potentially lowering per‑ride costs for passengers.
