Automated pods whizzing between destinations are an idea that has been around for a long time. Imagined as a safer alternative to humans operating vehicles (an idea I heartily endorse) they have been attempted for decades and are rarely successful. Well, this article from the guardian describes a new system going in at Heathrow Airport in London, England. That's very shagadellic isn't it? The article mentions a fee for the service, but it is unclear whether that is for the airport project or the proposed systems going into other cities. Either way, the future is here, and robot pilots are awesome. Give it a try next time you fly!
