Autonomous Shuttles Debut At This US Airport
19 Jul 2024 | Abstracted from Autoweek
The SAE Level 4 shuttles are able to carry eight passengers, and will serve a route with 15 stops around JFK...the shuttles will feature safety attendants on board who regularly work as bus drivers at the same airport. So the use of these shuttles will not be a job-cutting program, at least not at this particular stage.
"Other potential uses of self-driving shuttle platoons include moving passengers for first-mile/last-mile trips such journeys between an AirTrain station and a distant airport facility such as car rental offices."
