VW ID.Buzz Level 4

By 2025, Volkswagen intends to commercialize the electric van, ID.Buzz Level 4. The car is currently in the testing phase and will use Argo AI technology.

The presentation of the autonomous ID.Buzz vehicle will be in Qatar in 2022. It will be used in public transport on certain routes during the World Cup.

Volkswagen says that the commercial use of the van will be similar to that used by another company within the Volkswagen Group – Moia. ID.Buzz will only operate in certain areas.

Volkswagen is the first company to offer this level of automation. Honda claims that the new generation of Legend sedan will use level 3, in Japan. Late last year, General Motors began testing level 4 in San Francisco.
