• Milestone marks MOIA America's first passenger rides in the U.S.
• Invited passengers begin riding aboard self-driving ID. Buzz vehicles in the Orlando community of Lake Nona
• Marks the next stage of testing as part of the strategic partnership between MOIA America and Beep, focused on autonomous mobility services and their potential role within public transportation networks

Invited passengers in the Orlando community of Lake Nona are now booking and taking rides aboard self-driving ID. Buzz vehicles, marking MOIA America's first passenger operations in the U.S. and a significant milestone in its collaboration with Beep on autonomous mobility services. This passenger ride phase represents the next stage of testing in Lake Nona, adding passenger operations to MOIA America’s ongoing testing and validation activities across U.S. markets.

Invited riders can experience the service by requesting trips directly through the Beep mobile app and providing feedback to help inform future operations. They will board and depart self-driving ID. Buzz vehicles at dedicated pickup and drop-off locations along three planned routes within the Lake Nona community. During this phase, the vehicles will operate with highly trained onboard human operators.

Through a strategic partnership with Beep, MOIA America provides the MOIA brand’s turnkey autonomous mobility solution. This includes autonomous ID. Buzz vehicles equipped with the self-driving system developed by Mobileye, a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) software platform, as well as operator training and enablement. The integrated solution helps autonomous vehicle fleet operators deploy and manage an autonomous driving ecosystem, starting in Lake Nona.

“This deployment is a defining milestone in our journey to make autonomous mobility a practical and scalable transportation option for communities across the United States," said Mark Reid, co-founder and Senior Vice President of Beep. “The launch of passenger service in Lake Nona, with vehicles now operating at full traffic speeds, represents the introduction of an end-to-end autonomous microtransit solution that can expand access, strengthen connectivity through on-demand capabilities, and serve as a natural extension of existing mobility networks. Together, Beep and MOIA America are advancing the development and deployment of shared autonomous mobility.”

“Welcoming riders represents an exciting and important milestone for MOIA America as we introduce our first public-facing autonomous mobility experience in the U.S.,” said Paul DeLong, Co-President for MOIA America. “Each trip helps us better understand how people interact with autonomous transportation in everyday settings while demonstrating how this technology can support growing communities and complement existing transportation networks.”
