A Driverless ChauffeurDecember 20, 2007 | 10:38AM
Autopilot is closer than you think. In April 2008, the opening of Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 will launch a slue of progressive projects to make travel easier. Our favorite is the Personal Rapid Transport – a driverless travel system that uses its own guideway network to get around.
The debut of this project is a significant step in its history of trial and error. Since 1953 people have worked to implement a networked system of personal transports, but this will be the first time it’s ever been publicly tested. We’re excited to see how things develop. A successful implementation of the project could lead to other benefits for cities, the environment, and traffic safety. Click read more for additional pictures and links.
