Birmingham Airport launches driverless shuttle bus
Passengers at Birmingham Airport are being transported in a driverless shuttle bus as a six-week trial of the vehicle gets under way.
The new Auto Shuttle is taking people from car parks to the departures building.
"We see this as the future," said Solihull Council leader Ian Courts.
The local authority bought the vehicle from Coventry firm Aurrigo and said the trial aimed to show passengers its green credentials and safety.
Mr Courts said safety was "uppermost in our minds", adding the zero-emission vehicle was previously demonstrated at the nearby NEC and on Solihull roads in a "successful trial".
