Jaguar Land Rover is researching technologies that may supply drivers a 360 degrees read out of their vehicle, uninterrupted by the pillars that support the roof.
They arrange to do that by embedding screens within the surface of every pillar within the automotive which might automotivery live video feeds from cameras covering the angles outside the car sometimes obscured within the blind spots created by the A, B and C-pillars.
The 360 Virtual Urban screen would increase the safety options of the automotive by creating pedestrians, cyclists and alternative vehicles all round the automotive visible. The system would mechanically build the left or right-hand facet pillars clear once the driving force indicates to alter direction, once they move their head to appear over their shoulder throughout associate degree overtake manoeuvre, or because the vehicle approaches a junction.
According to Dr Wolfgang Epple, Director of analysis and Technology, Felis onca Land Rover:
“Our final aim is to cut back the potential for accidents and enhance the urban driving expertise. The Felis onca Land Rover analysis team is developing this technology to boost visibility and to grant the driving force with the correct data at the correct time. If we will keep the driver’s eyes on the road ahead and gift data in an exceedingly non-distracting means, we will facilitate drivers build higher choices within the most demanding and engorged driving environments.”
The virtual screen would be connected to the Cloud and will gift data starting from filling station costs to the quantity of parking areas offered, thus drivers won’t got to search for this data themselves. The connected automotive may additionally enhance navigation by advising the driving force to show left or right at additional visible landmarks, like pubs or outlets, instead of simply road signs or street names.
Another attention-grabbing technology underneath development is their ‘Follow-Me Ghost automotive Navigation’ that comes a picture of a vehicle before of the driver’s automotive for them to follow, flip by flip, to their destination.
This seems like a precedent to self driving cars for Jaguar to be honest. It'll be interesting to see how they'll use this 360 degree surveillance to turn into a controlling system.
