In another project that seeks to make transportation more accessible for those with mobility challenges, UK studio PriestmanGoode worked on an autonomous airport vehicle that can accommodate one person at a time. Named the 'Geo' concept, the design was developed in collaboration with mobility company Centaur Robotics and software company Naurt.

The autonomous airport vehicle is envisioned to give people with [limited mobility freedom on airport grounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-navigations) but also to make their travel experience better. PriestmanGoode notes "that typically happens at an airport is that a wheelchair user is asked to arrive one hour before other passengers," for example.

The Geo project is part of "a Dubai incubator focused on the future of air travel" called [Aviation X Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviation-authority).
