A bus driving with no hands on the wheel? Karsan Autonomous e-Atak explained [VIDEO] - Sustainable Bus
"A recent study by McKinsey stating that one out of three bus operators in Europe is considering buying an autonomous bus in the next five years."
"The Karsan Autonomous e-Atak, currently the only Level-4 autonomous bus available on the European market. The narrative adopts a light and slightly ironic tone, focusing on the questions that naturally arise when encountering autonomous mobility."
"Rather than concentrating only on specifications, the video explores practical aspects of operation: how the bus reacts to pedestrians and traffic lights, whether it can operate everywhere, and how passengers receive assistance."
"The Turkish manufacturer announced in 2020 it was working on a Level-4 automated version of the vehicle in partnership with Adastec. The model was subsequently introduced as the Autonomous e-Atak and began real-world deployments in Europe in 2022, when it entered service in Stavanger, Norway."
Autonomous driving technologies are increasingly integrated into European public transport through pilot programs and demonstrations. A McKinsey study reveals that approximately one-third of European bus operators intend to acquire autonomous buses within the next five years. The Karsan Autonomous e-Atak, the only Level-4 autonomous bus available on the European market, exemplifies this technological advancement. Developed through partnership between Turkish manufacturer Karsan and Adastec, the vehicle began real-world deployments in 2022 in Stavanger, Norway, marking the first full-size autonomous bus operating on a public transport route in Europe. The technology addresses practical operational concerns including pedestrian interaction, traffic signal compliance, service coverage, and passenger assistance.
