Volkswagen’s MOIA America began passenger robotaxi service in Lake Nona in partnership with Beep. Riders can schedule rides using the Beep mobile app, with designated pickup and drop‑off points on three local routes.

The vehicles operate with an autonomous driving system from Mobileye and include human monitors on board during the initial phase. MOIA America is also conducting tests in Los Angeles and Austin before launching commercial service there. Florida has permitted self‑driving cars on public roads without a human safety driver for years.
