Heathrow trial for autonomous vehicle

French-based autonomous vehicle pioneer Navya (part owned by Keolis) has demonstrated its Navya Arma fully autonomous and driverless shuttle at Heathrow Airport. Since first deploying the Arma in France in late 2015, more than 100,000 passengers have travelled in it and more than 30 of the type are now in use in seven countries around the world. “Autonomous technology will certainly be a part of the airports of the future. Autonomous vehicles will allow airports to deal with certain flow issues currently experienced and thus improve the passengers’ airport experience.”
