Argo AI, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, tested the autonomous VW ID. Buzz AD in Munich (home to Argo's European R&D center and closed-course track) toward a planned MOIA ride-pooling robotaxi service. The program ended when Argo AI shut down in October 2022, before the planned commercial service. The pilot did not convert.
