The Port Authority is leading the way in innovative technology, and that includes self-driving vehicles. We tested the first demonstration of a three-vehicle autonomous platoon at a U.S. airport at JFK, and our pilot at Newark Liberty was the first time a driverless vehicle was used on public roads in New Jersey. Now we've introduced a new self-driving shuttle at JFK's Long-Term Parking Lot 9. Want to try it for yourself? The shuttle is free to ride and currently open to the public 8am to 12pm, 7 days a week.
