03 — TECHNOLOGY
The intelligence inside.
ADASTEC is the automated driving technology provider behind Lunar Rise. Its flowride.ai platform already carries passengers on public routes in the US, Europe and Asia — campus loops, airport connections, city streets. Not a pilot. Not a promise.

Mixed Traffic Operation
Built to operate safely and reliably within real-world public road environments — alongside cars, cyclists and pedestrians.
Precision Docking & Stop Handling
Accurate, repeatable docking at every stop — level with the curb, aligned with the ramp, seamless for boarding.
Central Control & Remote Supervision
Real-time monitoring, mission control, and fleet-level operational oversight — every vehicle, every route, one screen.
Proven in Revenue Service
Validated in live public operations with full-size buses — real passengers, real schedules, real weather.
Lunar Rise operator cockpit
ONBOARD — FLOWRIDE.AI CONSOLE
Supervised autonomy, from the cockpit to central control.

04 — SAFETY
Safety before everything.
Every system on Lunar Rise is designed around one question: what happens if something fails?
SF/01
Redundant by design
Braking, steering, power and compute — every safety-critical system has a backup, and the backup has a plan.
SF/02
Supervised at all times
Central control monitors every vehicle in real time, with remote intervention capability on every route.
SF/03
Safe-stop behavior
If conditions leave the ODD, the vehicle executes a minimal-risk maneuver — a controlled, predictable safe stop.
SF/04
Operates only where proven
Every route is mapped, validated and tested before the first passenger boards. We claim only what we have proven in service.
05 — ONE BUS. EVERY ROUTE.
UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES
AIRPORT CONNECTIONS
CITY STREETS
USE CASES
Wherever a route repeats, it works.
University campus route
University Campuses
High-frequency loops, all-day demand.
Hospital district route
Hospital Districts
Step-free boarding, accessible by design.
Airport shuttle route
Airport Shuttles
Terminal-to-lot loops, around the clock.
Train station connection
Rail Connections
First-and-last-mile, timed to the train.
National park route
National Parks
Quiet, zero-emission visitor loops.
Urban night route
Urban & Low-Density Routes
Frequency without the labor constraint.
06 — FROM ORDER TO SERVICE
From factory to first passenger.
Vehicle production runs on a fixed schedule. Service readiness is scoped honestly — to your route, your region, your approval process.
STEP 01
Order & route scoping
Route selection, requirements and contract — one partner, one document.
STEP 02 — ESTIMATED 6–8 MONTHS
Vehicle production
The bus is built and factory-delivered during this phase.
STEP 03 — ROUTE-DEPENDENT
Commissioning & approvals
On-site validation runs, operator training and regulatory approvals — scoped per project with your agency.
STEP 04 — WHEN PROVEN
Revenue service
Passengers board only after the route is validated. Then the schedule holds — every day.
07 — COMPLIANCE & FUNDING
Built for American transit.
FMVSS
Engineered to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards — a real bus, certified like one.
ADA
Low-floor, ramp-ready, step-free. We build for everyone who boards.
Buy America
Built in the US, for US cities — aligned with FTA funding requirements and federal procurement.
