Map and area
ADASTEC: Kolumbus and Vy run one Karsan Autonomous e-ATAK with ADASTEC's driving system; Vy monitors and assists it remotely through Applied Autonomy's xFlow software. It carried ticketed passengers from 2022, from December 2023 on route 19 through the Bergeland tunnel with a safety driver. In April 2026 the Norwegian Public Roads Administration let Vy and Kolumbus remove the driver from behind the wheel, and the bus moved to a new Gausel to Stavanger University Hospital to University of Stavanger route timed to hospital shifts. Public rides were announced for May 2026 but have not been confirmed.

Sources and limitations
- ADASTEC · appliedautonomy.no · Last verified Oct 18, 2026Found in the European AV Landscape (PwC, University of St. Gallen, PAVE Europe) and checked against official sources on Oct 13, 2026; not yet in the coverage sheet. Rechecked Oct 18, 2026: Applied Autonomy's October 2026 release still describes driverless running but says nothing about riders. No source confirms that public passengers ride the new route; staff appear to stay on board. Upgrade the status once Kolumbus or Vy confirms passenger service.
