  • Switzerland gets its first fully autonomous gondola, the Kummebahn. The Kummebahn is Doppelmayr’s AURO cable car system that can operate without an operator. The entire system is monitored with smart technology and connected to the network through cameras and sensors. The 3.2 km gondola connects from Tufternkehr, via Wyss Gufer Central Station, to Rothorn moving 1,500 people per hour in 56 10-person cabins.
