How will Ground Handling change with the move to Level 4 automation?

Autonomous Roundtable

Ground handlers must adapt their current handling processes when deploying to autonomous ground support equipment. Levels 1, 2, and 3 of automation still require human interaction with the ground support equipment. Level 4 is a fully automated system, with no humans on the ramp. This roundtable will explore whether ground handlers need to rethink the ground handling process with autonomous GSE or whether the process will remain very similar.
