Are they not going to tell us which company's self-driving tech was installed on the bus? That seems like very relevant info.

I believe it is this one, I was able to find this via google search.

the bus model is Karsan e-ATAK, but not sure who provides self-driving tech for them, if it's their own in-house tech or third party

"The Karsan Autonomous e-ATAK is automated by ADASTEC’s SAE Level-4 automated driving software platform, flowride.ai, which combines perception, localization, and planning modules to make real-time decisions with high reliability. A comprehensive sensor suite, including LiDAR, radar, RGB cameras, and GNSS, continuously captures and fuses environmental and infrastructure data to enable accurate navigation in dynamic urban conditions. The system’s predictive algorithms anticipate the behavior of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles, while the planning module generates safe, smooth trajectories for the vehicle, ensuring passenger comfort and operational safety.

The vehicle is equipped with V2X communication capabilities for potential future integration with city infrastructure, enhancing situational awareness and supporting smart city initiatives. Teleoperation support is available through a dedicated control center operated by Vy Buss, allowing authorized operators to remotely intervene in rare cases such as unexpected obstacles or deviations from the planned route. This additional layer of oversight reinforces operational reliability and passenger safety."

It was ADASTEC’s autonomous-driving tech- specifically its flowride.ai SAE Level-4 automated driving software platform. It’s a Turkish company.
