Taiwan International Airport Corp (TIAC) yesterday said it would next year begin testing autonomous vehicles to carry passengers to a parking lot at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

The test is part of the company’s plan to turn the facility into a “smart airport,” company spokesman Lee Jian-kuo (李建國) said, adding that it would also involve self check-in systems and electronic gates at passport control.
