After watching this video, it felt too relaxing for me, and to be honest, it looks nice, I don't get why people get mad at these though. Although, I've seen it for the first time today.
I went from getting off an internal flight at T5 to my car via these pods in 20mins. Ok I only had carry on luggage, but for an airport as big as Heathrow that is impressive.
Just waste of time and money if you know UK weather, the pod ride is only from parking to terminal five, although you can go in the parking and hand over your car key to the valet service and go for check in
Funny. Cuz I’m just realizing the tech for Elon Musk’s original plans for those stupid tunnels (like the one in Vegas) actually exists… and somehow he still couldn’t do it and just made them useless Tesla tubes instead. Richest loser ever 😂😂😂
Looks like a private monorail that a supervillain in a James Bond movie would have…I can imagine 007 sneaking into a fortress of evil in one of these 😅
For people impressed by a self driving pod. When you come to London try riding on the D.L.R. It's a rail network where all the trains are automatic, without a driver on board.
All I see is a lost opportunity. Why would anyone prefer this over a light rail track? The ride isn't smooth, they need batteries and is it really selfdriving if the only thing its allowed to do is coming out the station and following the guided system? You could create a way smoother, faster and more efficient ride by just replacing this with a normal tram.
The pods might be cheaper in the short term but given the fact I can't find anything about the yearly maintenance cost I suspect its not that great. The celebrating pods card shown in the video also confirms this. They only compare the CO2 saved against a diesel bus while the electric one seems the more obvious comparison. The 1/2 energy saved compared to "other transport" is propably also a diesel car/bus since electric busses and trams are both over 50% energy efficient.
DRT's like this are useless in short distance airport transit. And I know that some people might go to the other parking lot to meet someone, but when the route is so short there will probably be trains to each destination every minute, so these would be better off having a set destination and being linked together like a tram. tldr: when the route is so short waiting isn't that much of a problem so these don't make sense.
Em porto também tem um destes
I have no hands and I’m blind. Guess I’m not riding a HUD POD SUDS or such things. Lucky I’m joking. What a boring way to get anywhere.

Isn’t this from Godzilla?
Very cool!
So cute🥰
Never Expanded this system?
The female voice at Station B towards the end almost sounds like Gemma Chan…but cool pod transportation
HEloosir ,goodd afternoonnthanks formtehuodets eys❤❤❤
Hey I hear that they installed a people mover in a airport
seems sooo futuristic until you see that Windows XP screensaver 0:07 🤣
IT’S A PRT!!! #WVU

These look like the old pods from Noisy-le-Grand in France that the Tim Traveller did a video about.
Ok this is amazing.
Amazing feat…
I bet this cost a billion $ and like 5 people have used it.
Interesting

日本にも導入されてもよさそう。
(でも、支払い見るとクレカしかないっぽいから、クレカ作れない人のために現金払いでも対応できるようにしてほしいかも)
It looks like China's Chongqing Baidu Apollo Self Driving Bus of 2018.

How much does it cost to park your car?
Whereabouts is that car park?
How often do the pods operate?
that's just a fking electric vehicle on a track… wow, much wow, very innovate… O_O
i… i just…
No, just, no, this is such a waste of money…
Very nice…
