Urumqi Tianshan International Airport has rolled out 16 autonomous shuttle buses for passenger transport, marking the first large-scale crewed self-driving project at a Chinese hub airport. Braving heat, sand, and cold, the shuttles navigate via cloud-controlled systems and join over 100 automated units that already handle 90% of cargo. With 76.4% new-energy vehicles slashing 70,000+ tonnes of carbon dioxide yearly, this pilot is redefining airport mobility as smart, green, and driverless.
