Heathrow Introduce State-Of-The-Art Taxi System
In an attempt to reduce traffic congestion, Heathrow Airport are implementing a new, state-of-the-art, traffic system. The system is one of a kind, it features 21 driverless electric shuttles that will be controlled using computer power.
The electric shuttles will be going along a 2 and a half mile path connecting Terminal 5 to the business car park. Each shuttle can carry 4 passengers with all their luggage at a speed of 25mph, the target is that it will be able to transport over half a million travellers between the two locations every year.
Bristol University are helping the company Advanced Transport Systems Ltd to develop the new technology for the giant airport. They have said that the shuttles are easy and comfortable to use, plus they are environmentally friendly as they use computers and laser guidance software to deliver their passengers.
This system is the first step to creating cars that will automatically drive us to our destination that we inputted to the on-board computer. Systems that we see in futuristic films such as I-Robot and Minority Report look like less of a dream and more like reality.
As this technology becomes more and more advanced, we could see our lives saved as our driverless cars can plan ahead and avoid any traffic collisions. Although this does sound good for us, whether the car industry and the contract hire industry will like this change is another matter.
With all the recent trouble within the motor industry, the last thing car manufacturers and companies offering cheap van leasing will want is to be required to build new driverless vehicles. Even though companies hate having to keep updating their technology, it's not likely to stop because they disapprove, I won't be shocked when I see companies offering the first driverless BMW lease.
