Efficient and Safe Taxi

I heard that a German company is developing a totally unmanned
and automated guided towing vehicle for autonomous movement at
airports. Idea is saving fuel, reducing incursions, aircraft damage
and solving safety issues.

The concept is basing on towbarless tractors towing aircrafts from
the runway to the gate and back without using aircraft engines.

Sounds interesting.

Any guess?
