[24] Fully autonomous, the vessel uses cameras, laser scanners, radar, satellite, GPS, compass information, and artificial intelligence (AI) to evaluate its surroundings and pilot itself.

[27] As part of the region's green urbanism efforts, as of 2021, the project was pending government approval to allow public use as a water taxi or passenger ferry in East Tennessee.

[25] The on-board solar panels and battery used to power the ferry’s engine and AI (artificial intelligence) navigation system have a capacity of six hours and enable speeds up to 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph).

[25] The quiet propulsion and solar-charging system provide a sustainable transport alternative, minimize marine acoustic disruption, and avoid environmental impacts associated with fuel and oil residue leaked in aquatic environments, contributing to ESG outcomes.

[31] Subsidized by funding from the South Holland provincial government, the self-propelled Vaar met Ferry service connects pedestrians and bicyclists from Warmond-Kagerzoom and Leiderdorp to the Koudenhoorn Recreation Area.

[32][33][34] The ferry service was implemented as a collaboration between the Delft University of Technology, Future Mobility Network, Buffalo Automation, and the South Holland provincial government to provide a sustainable transport option and reduce crowding on the existing access bridge, as COVID restrictions have increased recreation area usage.

[36] In 2020, Buffalo Automation repurposed its thermal imaging software to enable rapid skin temperature scanning of multiple people in a crowd to detect fever.

[37] Named BiFrost, the system operated as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, combining Buffalo Automation's convolutional neural network with existing thermal imaging equipment to rapidly report the skin temperature of different facial regions of each individual in a crowd.
