Heathrow Pods

- A ride experiencing the excellent Heathrow Pods, the personal, electric, rapid transit system between Heathrow Terminal 5 and Business Parking A and B. The vehicles use opportunity charging which means that they top up their batteries at the stations and at designated parking areas around the system. Progress is rapid and vehicles are laser guided and steered by the computer on board. The system works entirely automatically with a controller keeping a watchful eye over everything with the ability to manage any breakdowns or passenger issues. All in all this is an excellent system with real promise to be applied elsewhere. I intend to return soon.

I really love how everything that is happening is explained by the pod

How tf this shit been out for 2 years fam
Haha
I made a Playlist on my channel:WhY iS tHiS iN mY RReCoMmEnDaTiOnS?¿¿?

Dude it's design for airports not subway and MRT
These ones have actually been out for at least 7 years
And on today’s episode of: I did not know this was a thing
Lol same
Yyyyy

Now is my first see before
Thumbnail looks like some futuristic version of bumper cars
Welcome to another episode of "why is this in my recommended?"
No regrets. Don't have those around here but it's still cool to see
NOW it has something interesting huh?
Huh?? I go thru Heathrow all the time.. never seen dis sheet loool
Om Devine they’re for business class I think
That is because you didn't go to Terminal 5
Me neither. Where are them???
Me too ! Lol
These connect terminal 5 to their business parking lot. It's not a parking lot for business class, it's just a 'nicer' parking lot that costs £30 for a day
No one:
Not a single soul:
CZcams: ‘ave a look at this
Geweldig.
Yeah same, wtf even are CZcams recommendations honestly
Useless
I will be so glad when I never see one of these comments under another video again.
This joke is getting way too old
Why was this recommended to me just now
I made a Playlist on my channel:WhY iS tHiS iN mY RReCoMmEnDaTiOnS?¿¿?
Spekii same
Ikr this is like so futuristic 🤩
It was to me too
I feel like this should be recommended in 2042

BRO YOU GOT THE WHOLE SQUAD LAUGHING😐😐😐😐
Apple fans be like " OH AIR PODS IN REAL LIFE "
😂😂😂
Air Pods*
@@toddlee-millstein9550 Yea😂 thanks
Using “be like” in 2019
Because normal air pods don't exist in real life?
Living in the future. They should have these in city centres to take cars off the road.
Imagine the chavs riding around in them and trashing them. Or homeless sleeping in them
@@doms6741 maybe they can implement a system in which every person has a unique user card that must be scanned before entering the pod, the travel fare will automatically be deducted when u scan to leave. if they leave a mess behind and they have cameras inside they can automatically deduct a "cleaning charge". But I think self driving cars will be more popular than private pods for public transportation.
I’ll keep my car
booklvrxo I believe they call that a "bus pass" lol
@@Riyamu0779 the reason I didn't call it a bus pass was bc what I'm thinking of is something more of an ID card. Don't know where you're from but they don't have that here.
This is what I thought 2019 would be like everywhere in the past
Imagine getting stuck due to a pod malfunction and missing the flight
Wanderlust89 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ no. The pod would pretty soon be noticed and nobody gets the pod with a few minutes to take off. Now try imagining you’re intelligent.
julie Wallis - have you ever heard the word “imagine”?
@@JulieWallis1963 I feel sorry for the people who have to live with you.
They should have manual options just like a vehicle with manual locks and Windows incase the electrical locks malfunction😶
This pods is only for sci fi fans
This HAS got to be done!
What has?
People who live in England
"This looks cool"
Tourists be like:Holy shit this contraption is amazing
English people see this as much as tourists
People who live in England: OMG it's a sunny day and so hot...29C
Australians: LOL
Hayden Cooper I genuinely don’t remember the last time it was 29 degrees here.
Last year it was soooo...
Internet Explorer mhm it was hailing here the other day-
Now that's future.
Ernest Wang like a video game or movie
Not really its just the look of it but it's the same technology we use now
This is pretty basic compared to tesla. The pod drives on segregated track and the central system is probably aware of the positions of all pods.
BigDickMcGee not sure why you’re comparing it to Tesla, but if we are then Tesla is winning in the deaths caused by machine department.
This is just a downgrade in many ways
I live in London and i never knew about these until a few weeks ago ! It truly is like something out of an 80's sci fi movie.
Yeah, Bladerunner. Hopefully these have a better ending.
They 're so cool! Modern, state-of-the-art. Like the video.
Wait!!! Do they still have this? Cuz I live in the UK and have travelled back and forth home but never see these at Heathrow
Yes they're still there, the pods are in a sectioned off area for those who bought access though. I used them when i travelled to New York and back and they're great fun!
If used them before, when they first installed them,it was actually fun.
They are actually new. It's part of Heathrow's Terminal 5 project
@@boringperson-zb8vy looks expensive
Nope. They never had it!
I live 2.6 miles from Heathrow airport, and have worked there for 3 years. Something like this doesn't actually exist.
It's so polite! "Mind your head as you leave"

Whoever invented this is a genius
Looks like the pods from The Incredibles
Well done Britain for doing this amazing idea
Why didnt i notice the pods when i flew from heathrow last year, apparently only used by passengers using T5.
yeah, apparently only IAG passengers get to use them
@@karlosbricks2413 Kay?
This is most likely how self driving cars in the future will be like. How cool is it.
Hopefully they won't look this gay
@@visionist7wdym
Cute and adorable, the shape is like a capsule, unique transportation, nice2 i like.
Looks so peaceful
なんじゃこりゃ…
凄すぎる、これが最先端か……！
Am I the only one thinking the subway from kingsman
Nope
Woah, I didn't even know these existed wth.
My favourite things, really hope these become public transport or even personal use some day, I'm disabled, wheelchair user, can't drive even with hand controls, I don't like buses because most of the time I can't even get the wheelchair spot on one, I do like the metrolink trams but that can get crowded with people standing around me which can feel claustrophobic. Having these would solve all those things.
And those wouldn't get crowded...
Man, it looks so much like that tram journey to Black Mesa at the beginning of Half Life 1
Ahmadillo yeeeeeees
Ahahaha
I was looking for this comment 😆😆😆
Why does this feel like alien isolation
Am I the only one who think its slow!??
Try driving.
AMUL RAJ it’s not meant to be fast....
I mean I think I could walk faster than that
'Standing' on electric stairs is slow too. And people tend to use it more than regular stairs...i dont mind this being slow plus it seems an enjoyable ride
I rather been slow that travels with weird people.
I had this idea many years ago. Cool to someone has actually built it.
Seriously. This is something out of Logan’s Run. So new age. Welcome to the 22nd Century...
I wonder if this technology will take over trains or trams in years to come on a bigger scale
Probably
It's literally just worse than them, I sure hope it doesn't
0:35 it says ""Our journey from Bu§§ine§§ parking station B to T5 takes 5mins""
I am guessing its for the rich not for us
Also guessing they r using iPhone 20 Xr,
Its not cheap but also not expensive. Any middle class person will be able to afford it.
Stupid Fall it’s £30 a day.... I’d rather just walk
This is Heathrow interterminal transport to terminal 5. You can't walk as there is no footpath only those pods. They are free.
@@tarafficstory You're getting confused between the system that you have to use between T5A to T5B and T5C, this is from a car park to T5, it costs £5 per person. The £30/day is the price it costs to park in the car park that the POD's go from.
Why iPhone 20 XR? The R is the cheaper version. If their rich they would've got the normal one.
I've never seen anything like this on the news or the TV never heard of this sort of thing around Heathrow nothing has been mentioned about it at all it's the first I've ever seen of them
Really? They've been out for at least a few years but you're right they're not advertised much
@@Sssssssslf I've lived in London for about 15 years now and I miss it a lot
@@dawnlynch7691 I just checked their website it tell you where, how much and the hours they run lol
So one day ago on google I looked up flights to London, and then this showed up in my recommendations.
This reminds me of one of the facilities in Axiomm in Wall-E
I thought that would go fast, but it was crawling like a snail
It goes slow at the station but when it’s out of the station and onto the ‘road’ it’s faster
Wow, never seen something like this before. Thats really awesome!
Someone tell me why this reminds me of In The Night Garden 🤦🏾♀️😂
Underated comment lmfao
XD
You must be in "Total Recall" when you arrive at MARS!!
凄いなこれが新時代乗り物か
Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.
I have never seen these pods at Heathrow and I have been a couple of times over the last 7 years
Wow personal travel pod? Sign me up! Allows me to fart anytime I want!
Name low IQ if that’s the sum total of your contribution to this thread
😲
J Hearn seems like you’ve mixed up some discussion forums with CZcams’s comment section. Pretty sure you have a “high” IQ and really fun in parties 😂
Poor person that enters the pod next!
Of all the benefits you mention being able to fart in it. Dead.
I think the Heathrow pod is similar to the Japan Tobu Railroad vehicle Liberty
I can sense that early morning sicky feeling you only get when you have a flight to catch
That pod lady is so friendly.
How does this thing operate exactly?
どんどん未来化して行って今は空港に無人タクシーか
I work at Heathrow and have never heard of this omg.......
Well you clearly need to be fired
Cupcake4me yeah they connect business parking station B to terminal 5
This is an awesome video. I wish that we had those machines in the U.S
I visited there 4 years ago, but I did not know it.
Now it is not easy to visit there once again because I am living in Tokyo...
I want a go!
This is good. Been once in Heathrow and it is a maze
economy or first class?
@@true4848 economy but what has it to do with this?
Cool ! 👍🏻
irelandbloke I recognised you from your videos s
I go Heathrow 4-5 times a year I have never seen this I missing out
Did anyone else catch that they're going to terminal 5... or was it just me??
Yeah.. from business car park to "British Airways" flights or terminal 5.... not really for the 99%.
@@GSCt1000 why?
@@AyyK I don't know. But I guess its money, and an expensive experiment, which isn't ready to transport the million people that travel every year... if that was used by everyone, it definitely wouldn't be in the relatively new looking condition. That's been running for almost 10 years (I'm guessing the 10 years, but definitely more than 5 years)
No one:
CZcams recommendations at December 30, 2019: Wanna see this lil trainy boi?
This looks amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What is the underlying technology? How much is self driving?
Its on a track
Great we want a same system at roissy cdg
OK BUT WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN A SINGLE INCREDIBLES REFERENCE IN THE COMMENTS YET?!?!?
I think we need this type of rapid system in our airport here in The Philippines, it is very important to the elderly and the PWDs
I think Monorail would be the best solution instead since it can carry more people between Airport Terminals and other areas, so it is more efficient and also faster. Then have one of the train line have station at the NAIA/MIA terminal, even just one since monorail would connect the 4 terminals instead.
@@kornkernel2232 Its like MRT, citizens and PWDs cant seat down, so maybe we need pods for elderly and PWDs only. And also i agree with the Monorail for the Public :)
I think it is for the rich so they don’t have to go on the bus
I don't like travelling with the riff-raff. No offence of course.😏
No it's not
Davey Blue Eyes To someone else, you are riff raff though...
No actually it’s for those who are travelling in terminal 5 exclusively.
It's for people using terminal 5 business parking, which costs £30 per day to use.
What a clever invention.
wonderful pods☺️素晴らしい🎵
Wooow, it's so cool! Looks like the airport in Heathrow is really big
What I've been to this airport atleast 10+ times and I ain't ever seen these tf
Colours_Collide I think they are for business class
I think it’s only for terminal 5
They re so dinky, I could spend all day on them!😆
John Patman they be dinky toys
This is so cool!!😮
this is the coolest thing i ever seen
Great reduces the chance of getting blown up, great!

Oh shit probably Pakistani doing that blowings hhhhhh
That’s insane we need that in schiphol
Niet echt. Schiphol is namelijk stukken kleiner dan Heathrow Airport

Welcome to the future,boys!
Looks futuristic trams tho.
I want it in my country right now!!
NOW THIS IS POD RACING
Bumper Car between Heathrow Terminal？
Why doesn't Singapore have this...
They do already have a more efficient monorail system.
Heard the NUS has a similar campus shuttle system.
Ive been to heathrow so many times but didnt know this exists
Hi Daniel, new Irish subscriber here in Manchester U.K. - while I’ve seen these Heathrow pods before, aside from Dublin Airport, I can’t see why these pods can’t be used for getting from Dublin Port’s Stena & Irish Ferries passenger terminals at North Wall into Dublin City Centre - currently, we don’t even have the LUAS trams going all the way to the Port (only as far as the Gibson Hotel/02 Arena) and not even DART Underground - arriving off the ferry from Holyhead on SailRail, we usually have a lot of luggage, so this would be an ideal solution for us rather than the cramped buses they use, as there is not even taxis operating to/from the port
未来を感じる
It's like London underground for Heathrow but more high tec
we're in the future guys
youtube recommendations always got me
Just like the future
but 10 times slower.
Quick question
Wtf is this in my recommendations
To myself:
Okay, Jenn, London, England should be on your Winter Wonderland bucket list, and when you arrive at London, make sure you ride one of these.
I'm actually giggling a little. These little airport shuttle pods are so *cute.* So cute I wish our New York City airports (JFK and LaGuardia Airports) had these instead of these dang AirTrains.
so cool might try this out next time when I’m in London 😲
