LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) introduced its first Automated People Mover train car Aug. 2, marking a step toward the future of how people will be able to travel to and from the airport.

The driverless train system is the centerpiece of LAX’s Landside Access Modernization Program, featuring six stations that include connections to the Metro light rail system. The goal is to reduce the number of vehicles traveling into the airport’s Central Terminal Area.
