- Heathrow airport Terminal 5 uses futuristic and unique PRT pods to shuttle passengers from a business car park to the terminal. This video shows the sometimes complex movement of these pod cars all running autonomously.
These pods aren't just cool but they're really cute too 😍😍
❤❤❤
Yaas
These look really cool and cute!
I never knew there was a system so futuristic here in England.

I imagine Mr Bean invading the track with his Mini and causing chaos all over the airport
Yeah 😂😂😂😂😂
No chance, Bond....James Bond is protecting it!

I saw these when I passed through Terminal 5 a few years ago. It kinda took me by surprise when I looked up and saw the first one. Very futuristic.
Why am I thinking about bumper cars?
Every major city needs something like this and not just at the airport but, like, everywhere

I was waiting for them to bump into each other lol.
But why use something like this when a railway/tramway/subway/elevated is many times more efficient and does the same thing?
@@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS
I can think of at least 2 reasons.
1) These would be a lot more convenient than most public transit systems. If the system is set up properly, your ride is waiting for you instead of you standing around waiting for
your ride.
2) Less confusion for the passenger because the pod could take you directly to your destination, much like a taxi, instead of having to change trains, buses or trams mid trip.
There are more reasons, but these are the first 2 to pop into my head.
Its just like taxi you know but no traffic since you have your own road
Keith Craig taking you directly to your destination would mean track everywhere. Dedicated bus lanes could do much of what these could do with a small fraction of the cost
Cool! Such a system should be extended for a whole city, where such cabin just threading into major lines.
Nah it would be unreliable.The point of trains is for high capacity
I love these pods. Greetings from Canada.
Fantastic. I want my own personal pod for getting around !
Me too! I'm sure these will replace cars in the future
I have seen it few days back when I was near the airport,it's so cute
How so
They just need painting red with black spots and maybe to feelers on the front lol
Great, the speeded up footage at 1:49 is a bit like being on a wooden roller coaster.
Remember coming into Heathrow airport, back in 2012. Impressive airport. Great video.
lax needs those, no air train no notching , super futuristic
It would be incredible if they used PRT to serve all the terminals of LAX and connect to the light rail. This would have been perfect for a PRT system.

LAX is currently building a more traditional people mover train that will connect to a new branch of the Metro light rail (and parking).
Yeah we need it in Lax. too much of traffic from pampa circle to bus stand
Beautifully captured. Very informative and interesting to know. Liked
Thank you very much!
These are so cool I want one that goes from my bedroom to the bathroom
😂
😂😂
😂 😂 😂 I'm lazy and I really need it for the same
Just install a toilet in your bed you miserable
:)
This is the answer for many Airports around the globe
Plot twist they are tide pods
definitely, futuristic. very cool

Safest way to move...and also noiseless..😀👍👍👍👍👍
When it speeds up I thought that's so fast but when I saw the cars and the aeroplane I just realized it's just a timelapse.
I try to keep my videos shorter so I speed up the ride. I think videos that are under 10 minutes long get more views.
@@Luke_Starkenburg yeah..more than 10mins videos usually recommended by youtube
Love the transit vids on this channel - one suggestion would be to have a "2x speed" or "5x speed" caption for the sped-up portions to avoid confusion.
This is so crazy. Only for this Event i would like travel to the airport.
I think i drive the whole Day along.
Very nice.
SO AMAZING ! IT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF COMPACT HEATHROW PODS TO GO CITY CENTER AND AVOID TOO MUCH TRAFFIC AND POLLUTION.
ua-cam.com/video/iaSaWfw07Sw/v-deo.html
I have an even better idea: what if we make the pods long😮 and put them on rails underground🤯
@@confusedtoad8757London should really think about doing something like this
One step closer to POD taco delivery. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Morgantown WV USA (the town I live in) has had the PRT system since the 70’s. It’s almost identical to this but it goes around the whole town. We are known for the system we have but no one talks about it. Feel free to look it up.
And no, I’m not claiming China stole from us. But we did have the system before Shanghai had skyscrapers :)
I would love to visit Morgantown to ride this system! It looks fascinating!!
Luke Starkenburg it’s amazing and it’s a little bit faster than the one in the video. I live five minutes away and I get to ride for free whenever I want. It’s free to ride for everyone on Saturday and Sunday as well as the entire months of June and July. It goes around the entire town and my dad and ride it for fun. It’s similar to the one in the video but is a little older. It went under renovation about two years ago. Please do a video on it.
Wow, the future is already here 😍😍😍👏
Thanks for upload. Amazing experience
woow..many years here and didnt know those existed!!!
ua-cam.com/video/iaSaWfw07Sw/v-deo.html
i hope all airports start to use this
$4million per mile constructing the roadbed.
I hope so. I doubt the airport in my city would implement this tho.
Depends on how big it is, and how much it will cost.

Anything that eases traffic congestion seems like a good idea
Simple solution...stop putting more cars on the road.
attention! speed recording 1:39-2:30
if you see clearly that a bit of video editing . 1:39 the flight is also flying fast . if you go further , then the drone seen at the bottom of screen - look at the movement of car . its video editing
no offense but ever consider having a bit of humor sense?
Its to show you the system without taking 8 years. Get a grip Norbert.
Presses OK
Штука хорошая, но возможна к использованию только в странах с определенными климатическими условиями.\
3-58 и 4-17 самые важные кадры.
Спасибо. Правда, там, где много снега и льда, это не сработает. Я действительно хотел бы, чтобы они расширили систему до близлежащих отелей и других автостоянок. Было бы лучше демонстрировать технологию PRT, если бы было 5-10 станций.
Thank you. It is true this would not work well where there is a lot of snow and ice. I really wish they would have expanded the system to nearby hotels and other car parks. It would demonstrate the PRT technology better if there were 5-10 stations.
Big fan of these things, I'm disabled, not able to drive due to one of my illnesses. I rely on others driving me around or using existing public transport which I don't like when it's crowded, these would be perfect for me, in fact, forget them as public transport, I want one for myself!!
Great video - very nicely done - !!
I infer advances in room-temperature super-conductivity will eliminate electric circuit resistance and eventuate in ... wait for it ... unlimited use without re-charging and zero heat loss. Talk about futuristic. They aren't there yet ... but wow.
Forgot ..., super-conductivity may already be in use in space where there is ample super-cold environment.
James Waters Shame superconductivity doesn't equate to infinite electrical capacity. Leave the inferences to those who understand the science, and can engineer the technology. Roll on more cool pods though.

Wow! I wish I could see this in person.
They look like the Dandelion car from Pushing Daisies.
How cool is that! *cheer*
Your all vdos are simply great, but it would be best if you could show how people get down on the stations and a small info about technology
I have 5 other videos on UA-cam about the London Heathrow PRT which does show a lot more detail about the system. Those videos were not as popular as this one.
In the States we've had this since the 70s (at West Virginia Univ). Kinda cool!
very good
Very Cute Pod
Man,, you got me. At about 1:48. I thought that pod was going that fast for real,,. Lol
ua-cam.com/video/iaSaWfw07Sw/v-deo.html
They look like meow meow 😻😻😻❤
Imagine a city full of those in an Uber like fashion rather than every single inhabitant owning a combustion engine car.
Masdar City, Dubai has a system like that.
Don’t forget compression
-“Suck squeeze bang and blow”
If you own a car you can still use public transport. Giving people more choices is better.
The Tampa, FL airport has computer-driven shuttles that run from the outlying gates to the central terminal building. They seem to be speedy and efficient.
Many airports operate driverless shuttle trains. The London Heathrow PRT is unique because of how small the cars are, because they are battery operated, and because they steer themselves using lasers. All other systems use guide rails to keep the vehicles on a track while this PRT system actually uses a computer to steer itself like a car.
I have to admit, that was worth the 5 minutes.
Time saving invention wow..its amazing
HOW BADASS IS THIS!
interesting video!!!
Very cute! ^__^
Kawaii! :3
🚇 transporte futurista, 👍👏👍👏.
No, no lo es.
These are soooo cute .. wish i could ride them one day
Very nice looking
The video is really good recorded
I liked the Qantas at the end......✈👍
I want one from my bedroom to my office
Недавно и я на таком шатле прокатилась в аэропорту Хитроу))
Ответьте это монарельс.
Это чо монарельс? ()
Nice video
This is a cute ride!
Glad to see this
Those look like fun
Looks like an Amusement park lol
Those seem pretty practical. If we tried to use them here, though, car fans would be crying and pissing themselves.
these busses looks cute
Good job
It's fantastic!!. ❤️
It was beautiful and elegent too good
Nice
Always awesome as ever.
So what happens if one of the pods suddenly dies half way or breaks down or something like that? Or do they have a way of getting you out? I always wondered about these in emergencies. They must have a way of getting you back to the parking lot.

What do you do in a car on the freeway? You get out and try not to get runned over. Difference is, with a PRT, the command centre immediately knows when something has gone wrong and can dispatch people to help you. Some PRT systems are designed for another car to push or pull the malfunctioning car to the nearest station.
Didn't you know? You're stuck in it forever!
Its next level 👌

Unlike charging station ,they might charge on fixed route while on run.
wow full safety.
Very cute
I wonder if Elon Musk’s Boring Company Loop Pods will look similar to these. I love this idea but obviously the pods could be bigger to cram more people.
I wish more cities would be willing to make the investments in these “alternative” technologies, not just pod cars, maglev, monorail etc etc. When properly built and scaled up these things could carry as many people as the Lex Ave Lines of the NYC Subway could carry.
I think the Hyperloop pods will be very similar, except that they will travel much much faster, I think 100mph or more. The renderings look similar to these pods but bigger like you said. In the CG videos, they are also very close to each other. It looks like they are going 100mph with only inches of space between vehicles.
ua-cam.com/video/iaSaWfw07Sw/v-deo.html
OMG dude you will not believe it but there is already a kind of pod that can transport a lot of people! Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/hTSYME3Yt2s/v-deo.html
Once you scale this up it’s just a train with more hassle. Might as well build a train. They are good for specific purposes like this though
When I saw the thumbnail , I thought "maglev" "London now has a maglev for its airport like Shanghai but different". Then in the video I saw, it's just wheels.
ua-cam.com/video/iaSaWfw07Sw/v-deo.html
I will wear this it must be better than my airpods.
I haven't seen them before they look great. can you take us inside?
Someday an ultra pods will become flying.
Once, back in 1985, the children's fantasy film “Guest from the Future” appeared in the USSR. It won a hearts of many Russian-speaking boys and girls and had a cultural impact on a whole generation. The first episode of this film tells how the simple Moscow schoolboy found a time machine and moved 100 years into the future. There he found almost similar pods, only are flying. In one of them he flew to a space-port ...
ua-cam.com/video/1OShbyD9ZtA/v-deo.html
I suppose, at the end of the 21st century it will be possible to see how flying pods transports passengers to a London Space-port.
I can't stop laughing at these💕💕😂😂 These are so cute! I love these airport pods! Now I'm wondering if these are electric hybrid pods or something. I'm real curious about these.
The PRT pods at Heathrow Airport are battery electric. Not hybrid. They are fun to watch and ride. I only wish the system would be expanded to many more stations! I'd love to see a system with 20 stations and high ridership to really test the usefulness of PRT as a concept. I have faith PRT can deliver!
@@Luke_Starkenburg Where I think they've missed a trick here is in articulating three or four of these PRT cars, possibly a taller version that would allow standing, and being able to run "buses" and 2-car "minibuses" using the same guideway and charging infrastructure (although the nose-in station parking would need an additional "bus platform"). All the hotels along the north side of Heathrow could be served by these in addition to regular PRT cars. Airside, you can tie all the terminals and gates together with PRT buses, with private cars available from the business class lounge direct to the gate (possibly just scan the boarding pass and be taken to the right gate). So many possibilities.
This is so cool! 👍👍👍
Never knew these existed in London
ua-cam.com/video/iaSaWfw07Sw/v-deo.html
These are awesome
I seen lots of times in Heathrow airport
Sandeep uk 🇬🇧
Super
so that modern hello from Panamá🇵🇦❤
hope for the airport, this little pods comes on time. because in London, the public transport is not even you can imagine.......ON TIME ...
nice video indeed
Would have been nice to see some people getting in or out of one of these things, just so we could see how the doors work. No look at the interior seating either?
I can't put everything in one video, but maybe I should have included some of this. I have another video which shows all this. ua-cam.com/video/8lKtn3jfJpE/v-deo.html
Start at 2:19 and watch from there to see people getting in and out, and also interior clips.
Its look like your own personal train
Its a fun personal train to ride!
Luke Starkenburg yeah😄😆
"Hello? Customer Service, this is David from Merthyr Tydfil and I appear to be lost... well I went in one of your free potty things for a dump and when I was finished my business it had bloody kidnapped me and taken me somewhere."
That looks tough.
.... i miss the looping
Wow fantastic
昔ゆりかもめなんかの前身になった、研究中の交通システムを思い出した。
結局、大量輸送に適さないと言う理由から、一台毎のオンデマンド配車を諦めて、自動運転のみ実用化したらしいけど。
nice❤
Omg lucu banget 👍👍 and keren banget 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Kirain satu satunya yg indonesia
🙂
Interesting idea
Looks fun to me!
Está muy bonito el trailersito :3
