Autonomous Human Transportation PODs - Heathrow Airport - Post Covid Public Transportation?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Come go an an autonomous journey with the Heathrow Airport Transportation Pods.
We had a long layover at the Heathrow Airport, so we decided to leave the security area to check out these Autonomous Pods connecting Heathrow's Terminal with 2 Parking facilities. We've seen them online before our trip and really wanted to check them out.
It was a fun experience and a good time waster - did we feel like we arrived into the future with these PODs - definitely not. They kind of reminded us of state fair bumper cars released onto tracks.
With the pandemic now and looking back at this transportation system, it did help us to envision how public transportation could look like in the future. Individual pods, sterilized between trips and of course self driving! We would sign up for a service like this in an instant.

i would love to see these become more common outside places like airports, im a wheelchair user and that resulted in certain affects that prevent me from driving, i have a trams system to get around on which is great and gives me a lot of freedom to get around but it can get busy which i dont like, these would be great for privacy, i'd buy one myself if i could lol.
Hello friend. That was so interesting. Very cool! I really enjoyed today's video. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a great week.👍😎👊
Thank you! You too!
I have used the Heathrow pods a coupe of times. Really handy, park your car walk to the pod station catch the pod right into the terminal. it saves trying to catty heavy suits cases on and of one the shuttle buses.
Just the parking is expensive. Isn't it cheaper to just get a taxi or uber to the airport? They can drive you right to the terminal.
I doubt if uber or a taxi will be cheaper I live 90 Miles from the airport cheapest taxi costs about £317 for a return trip. pod parking £263.
Fantastic great Video! Thumbs Up! 😀🤩😎💥💯💢👍
11:01 what happened to the pod there
All the lots at the station were taken so we had to stop and wait and that sound was jus the sound of pod stopping and not hitting the other pod :)
Было бы интересно,а как это работает,за счёт чего осуществляется движение по заданному курсу и движение вообще,какой движок стоит?А на них так прикольно кататься на самом деле)))
I want one of these! Waiting to take me all around at a moments notice.
Get rid of cars and give us THIS! :)
Buy a car then
I like this! Yes please for visually impaired people who just are very independent.
And it's fun too!
Amazing!
This is cute as a bug cool ride
We loved the privacy too :)
Minority report :D
Totally ... the future is here! Release those pods to all the streets!
I hope Malaysia has this technology .
We're going to Malaysia ... there is a monorail in Kuala Lumpur.
And people with really walkers it’s a good idea
Transportation of the future we’re gonna see a lot more of as the years go on and we get closer to 2050 so I say get use to it now, the future is happening whether we like it or not, it looks cool and relaxing
We still hope for nobody owning their own cars but everyone uses a system where they can call transportation pods.
@@For91Days not these ones, though. Let’s hope 😂
That's what they said at WVU in the 1970s and at Heathrow in 2011 "This will be the future and revolutionary of travel." Not really.
when the capacity is 4 people because you made it pods cause it was futuristic or something
Capsule pods ❤
They should allow us to take naps in them as well :)
We ARE GOING TO STATION B
Dude this is a great question 😊
We're all going to Hell in a pod with a posh voice.
It's complex hardware. It's not simple hardware, e. g. special road. Birds on video. (0:01-től)
Does a VMware Transportation PODs exist?
Was it a smooth ride? Could you stand up in it? Could you relax? Could you become emersed in reading and feel secure...?
Well, it could be smoother tbh! And yes you could stand up ... and you could read a book too ... wasn't feeling nervous at all while riding.
Do you need to pay
@@IPlayMultiCraftno it’s free
Are they free to use or you pay or is it in with your parking ticket?
Free to use :)
@@For91Days thank you
The Transport Pod voice sounds like Elizabeth Hurley a bit. They only go to two places? No pubs?
Hahha .. sadly no pub. That would have been a fun ride back to the terminal! Party POD!
where is this from it’s a good idea for airport to so cute
not putting those on rails is a design flaw.
Totally agree!
No it's the whole point
@@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 what is the point in less efficiency and faster degradation?
@@MusikCassette rubber tires allow for tighter turns and higher acceleration. This isn't going very far or being used very much so the things you said aren't a concern
@@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 yes they are. in contrast to a street the tires here always role over the same small bit of asphalt. you can already see the wear on the road, despite this being a very light load.
They have not updated or explained the system?
Wow-really like this…would this work for commuting say from UGeorgia to Atlanta?
Totally agree ... I also like these Trams: lisbon.for91days.com/tram-28-lisbon/
You are going to
Pod Parking Station B
Is that OK?
(Station A | Station B).
Hello.
Where do you want to go?
Did the POD board computer found our video? Is it really you?
En el aeropuerto de foror texas ay beiculos autónomos desde ase Medio siglo.
Y en el aeropuerto de atranta desde ase unos treita años.
WHAT THE HECK
driveless pods
And fully automated :)
it is unlos
(Cancel | Don't cancel).
I feel just stupid. not that smart alien looks😅
(Cancel | OK).
I bet you feel like a real john riding around in one of those. That thing could take you anywhere! Some back alley then fondle you and drop you off at the next block. NO THANKS
it is very slow
it is useless
Yes it's not very fast but it's fun, something different and better than getting on to a crowded bus.
Nope

Man they were hurt maybe he's coming
Unable to play because of the adverts.

Movable PODS!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Will these ever come to the US?
Not sure - If I hear anything I'll try to remember to let you kow!
They did... 47 years ago: ua-cam.com/video/iaSaWfw07Sw/v-deo.html
14:05 Gosh! That fence is so low
Please board your pod for
Pod Parking Station B
Yes, these robot/land drone pod buses will not be replacing the older, human driven buses, any time soon.
These ... for sure not! Hahah but I can totally see something like that in the future .. !!! Maybe .. ehheeh!
Wouldn't want to be a hurry to catch a plane!
Was thinking the same thing - it would be sooo frustrating!!!!
Total spacig!💪
👍😎🇦🇹
Nur schneller ist geiler! :)
ITS NOT A POD ITS A SMOL TRAIN
They call them a Pod and feels like one. At least to us.
@@For91Days but ITS A SMOL TRAIN
