PHOENIX — You’ve heard of Waymo, but have you heard of Ohmio?

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is testing two new autonomous passenger shuttles in its East Economy parking lot. The driverless vehicles transport passengers between parking areas and the PHX Sky Train station, with on-board attendants available to assist riders and take control if necessary.

The shuttles are currently operating on weekdays during daylight hours as part of a six-month pilot program. Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego says the city hopes to hear from travelers about their experiences before deciding whether to continue the service.
