An EasyMile EZ10 driverless shuttle is being tested at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) in Austin, Texas, as part of a new pilot program. 

The shuttle is available to transport passengers traveling between the Barbara Jordan Terminal and the Rental Car Facility/Ground Transportation.

The shuttle will take passengers from the terminal to the front of the Rental Car Facility/Ground Transportation, which is also where the airport's ground transportation pick-up area for taxis and ride-app services is located.

AUS notes that other route options could be explored in further testing.

The shuttle can seat six people, and there is also room for standing passengers. The shuttle is equipped with a built-in automated electric access ramp for wheelchair accessibility.

The shuttle operates autonomously, but an AUS attendant is on board for safety purposes, and to help travelers.

“Adding a green energy, mobility solution to the airport benefits both travelers and the environment and is just one of the steps AUS is taking to meet the City of Austin’s Strategic Direction 2023 Health & Environment outcome,” AUS says.
