Autonomous technology is expanding to airports, helping passengers with limited mobility get to their gates on time and independently.
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is the latest such facility to introduce autonomous wheelchairs, which allow users to make multiple stops as they navigate its halls.
Expanding independence was a central aim for the project, Mansoureh Jeihani, director of the National Transportation Center at Morgan State University in Maryland, said. The endeavor, she stressed, could also serve older passengers who may have difficulty walking.
