According to the company's site, the Arma uses its Lidar sensors and cameras to detect obstacles in its path, and communicates its GPS location to the base station so that operators can monitor where it is live.
It runs on electricity, and its batteries can last half a day, depending on distance and traffic conditions.

The electric buses have been retrofitted with Lidar and other smart technologies, and researchers at the university are writing the software to manage them.
