Airport tests autonomous shuttle
Monday, August 5, 2019 by Tai Moses
Travelers going between the Barbara Jordan Terminal and the ground transportation pickup area can now take the adorable new Easy Mile EZ10 driverless shuttle, part of a new pilot program being tested at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The electric, self-driving shuttle seats six, plus additional standing room, and has an automated access ramp for wheelchairs. An attendant will be present to answer questions and make sure everything runs smoothly during the pilot, and if all goes well, additional routes will be added.
