Press Release, 12 January 2026
At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Turkish mobility innovator Karsan took a major step in positioning itself as a global leader in intelligent public transport by unveiling its Karsan AI (Autonomous Intelligence) vision and showcasing its real-world autonomous solutions to a global tech audience. The exhibit marked one of Karsan’s most significant appearances on the world stage, emphasizing that the future of urban transport goes beyond electrification to include smart, autonomous systems that can perceive environments, make rapid decisions and continuously learn from experience.
At the heart of Karsan’s CES presence was the presentation of next-generation autonomous models backed by extensive field experience, reinforcing its reputation as a technology-focused mobility brand shaping the future of public transport. According to CEO Okan Baş, Karsan AI reflects a holistic mobility intelligence that doesn’t simply drive vehicles but understands and responds to dynamic urban conditions, blending sensor data, decision-making logic and adaptive learning. This philosophy aligns with the company’s broader goal of designing cities’ future transport ecosystems, not just building zero-emission vehicles.
Karsan’s autonomous journey is grounded in real-world deployments that have accumulated tens of thousands of miles of autonomous driving, transporting passengers under everyday traffic conditions, and demonstrating high operational reliability. By sharing this proven track record at CES, Karsan underscored that autonomous public transport is no longer theoretical it’s actively moving people today in several markets, including North America, Europe and Japan.
The company also stressed the importance of strong partnerships and full-stack solutions, from vehicle hardware to software and regulatory compliance, as key enablers of scalable autonomous mobility. With CES 2026 serving as a launchpad, Karsan signaled its intent to accelerate the transition from electric to intelligent, autonomous transport and to expand its footprint in cities worldwide.
