In 2021 the company received €200 million from the Croatian government and the EU to develop a self-driving car, presumably to compete with US companies. However, they ended up using Mobileye technology. The initial goal was to have the cars on the road by 2024, which everyone knew was unrealistic. Now, the launch is supposedly targeted for 2026 but that's probably unrealistic as well.
During the presentation, they attempted to summon the car twice, but it failed to move. A photo from the event shows an employee holding what appears to be an industrial-grade remote controller.

It does look suspiciously like a 'bellybox' remote control.
