Gatwick Airport Deploys Autonomous Vehicle Fleet for Airside Staff Transport

London's Gatwick Airport has introduced a fleet of autonomous electric vehicles to transport its staff around the airfield. This initiative is a first for any airport, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and safety. The self-driving cars, developed by technology company Oxa, use a combination of sensors and cameras to navigate the complex airport environment. By automating staff transport, the airport hopes to free up employees for other critical airside tasks. The long-term goal is to potentially expand the use of this technology across the airport.
