Autonomous technologies are changing way people get around.
Slowly but surely, autonomous vehicles are starting to be used in real world situations.Initially, the autonomous shuttle bus will make its trips without passengers.A self-driving shuttle bus has started making trips at Brussels Airport. In a statement earlier this week, the airport said that the vehicle, which is operated by transport firm De Lijn, would undertake several demonstration trips, without passengers, to test the technology.
The CEO of the Brussels Airport Company, Arnaud Feist, said intelligent mobility was "one of our strategic priorities for sustainable development over the coming years." "This joint project with De Lijn, which commenced in 2015, is one of the initiatives specifically aimed at achieving this objective," he explained. "We're now exploring how self-driving buses can be deployed to improve the efficiency of passenger transport on the airport grounds."
