The vehicle will initially be offered in the U.S. only in a passenger version in an upscale trim, while commercial versions will be available in other countries.
Volkswagen first revealed the ID.Buzz as an electric, autonomous concept in 2017 and recently announced plans to launch a self-driving taxi based on it using technology being developed by Argo AI, which it co-owns with Ford.
