About AeroVect Driver

AeroVect Driver is an OEM-agnostic autonomy system for airport ground-support equipment, including baggage and cargo tractors. AeroVect combines onboard 3D LiDAR and 360-degree sensing with live aircraft-position data to navigate the tightly controlled airside environment and enforce rules-based behaviour around aircraft and personnel.

The company states that Driver is deployed in live production operations, has accumulated the largest proprietary airport-driving dataset and has handled tens of thousands of live aircraft crossings. Those statements support production-use maturity for autonomous airside driving, but do not disclose the customer-by-customer fleet size. Historical GAT and dnata deployments remain linked as named evaluation and rollout context.
