The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Ohmio, a leading New Zealand-based autonomous mobility company, announced that in June, John F. Kennedy International Airport will host the country’s first three-vehicle platooning demonstration at a U.S. airport.\nThe agency also hosted a demonstration of two eight-passenger electric autonomous shuttles in a platoon at the airport in October 2022 to simulate how such technology could serve passengers in the future.\nThe Ohmio demonstration will focus on using eight-passenger driverless shuttles in a three-vehicle platoon on a closed road segment at the JFK Long Term Parking Lot, where they will travel very closely together without any physical connection.\n“We had great success in 2022 with this technology, and this second demonstration will allow us to evaluate and test a larger platoon at faster speeds,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole.\nFollowing the Ohmio platooning pilot at JFK, the agency will look for longer-term use cases such as moving passengers between parking lots and on-airport facilities.
