- Autonomous Snowplow Airport Demonstration – Two autonomous snowplows, called Yeti, developed by Swedish technology company Semcon, cleared snow for first time at Fagernes Airport in Leirin, Norway
- Features – 20 meters long and 5.5 meters wide, can clear 357,500 square meters (i.e. 670 football fields) of snow per hour in different weather conditions
- Advantages – Can more effectively and efficiently clear snow compared to human drivers, saving on trip delays, increasing profitability, and adding value
- Control System – Technology's control system downloads patterns for snow clearing, monitors vehicles using real-time kinematic global positioning system (GPS), and communicates through 4G network
