Any chance we can get the title modified to read "Schiphol airport ..." as many won't know if this is a company, a town, or what until paragraph 4 of the press release?
The word "airside" in the title already gives a pretty enormous clue !

It's literally Amsterdam Airport? I don't think it needs clarification. It's like saying "JFK/Heathrow/LAX conducts trial with self-driving buses on airside"

Copenhagen is quite nice.
I would argue that's the only nice airport in Scandinavia even! Would say the worst layout on an airport i've ever seen is Stockholm Arlanda.

What’s a nice large European airport? I feel like I’ve heard terrible things of all of them, like LHR and CDG.
I like Heathrow when travelling to or from London. It's huge, but there's public transport to each terminal, a reasonable selection of restaurants and generally somewhere to sit. It's fairly quiet. Changing between terminals at Heathrow is much less fun. CDG I find confusing.
I was at Dulles/DC and the air-side transportation was interesting: the jetbridge was also a bus. It's a "mobile lounge" and I guess a few airports have them. There's definitely something interesting when transit isn't seen as transit...but just mobile public spaces? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_lounge
These things have a high 'what might have been' future factor, but man they are annoying in practice. Because you have to wait for everyone to cram inside, it feels much slower than a train or moving walkway. They're very frustrating after a long flight when you just want to get to customs and get home.

Is "autonomous ground operation" a valid ambition in and of itself? Surely it needs qualification - which means that ...
Self driving is a bit of a stretch here. There are already a lot locations around the world where autonomous vehicles are driving, even in the Nederlands. For example in the Netherlands there is a container terminal that has been using autonomous trucks for decades. And since 1999 there have been autonomous busses in Rotterdam. Yes they are self driving, but not as smart as self driving means today.
From YouTube comments, it seems was an experiment of 2023 with video only uploaded now. It also looks like was not that successful, as they were too slow, and ended up causing problems for the meat based drivers...
