Passengers Don't Need Drivers at London Heathrow

August 21, 2009 at 8:44 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments

London's busy Heathrow Airport is way down the list of our favorite airports – yes, it's the airport named worst in the world recently, but there is something brewing there that we really do love.

Last year we heard about the cute driverless vehicles that should form a Personal Rapid Transport system by sometime in 2009, and now they're really here. Each of the 21 pods carries four people and their luggage from the car park to the terminal; at the moment, it seems, just to the much-maligned Terminal 5.

Heathrow is promising maximum waiting times of one minute, although we've kind of learned to ignore Heathrow's promises already. Just the same, we still think these travel pods are damn cute.
