Total Recall must be one of my favorite movies ever.  Mars, loads of shooting at stuff, a man with another man inside him like some kind of tumour, further extended periods of shooting, Arnie going AARRRRRRGGGGHHHHEEEEAAAAAGGGGHHH in the vacuum of space, and three tits.  An often overlooked element of the movie is Johnny Cab: the automated taxi system with a wacky robot driver.  Most of you: “What?”  For those bereft of the privilege of not seeing Total Recall, London’s Heathrow Airport has a new $41 million automatic taxi system.  Read more after the jump.

The four-passenger personal rapid transport (PRT) vehicles shuttle people from Terminal 5 to one of the airport’s parking lots. It’s as easy as hopping in, entering your destination on the touchscreen and sitting back while the vehicle navigates specially constructed mini-roads at 25mph to your lot of choice.  Awesome.  Of course we’re only talking about from a terminal to a car park right now, but you wait, there’ll be brain chips and Martian coverups before you know it.
