The technology will allow the next generation car brand to ride on any terrain.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will create a system of Autonomous control, due to which the vehicles can move independently on the road. This is with reference to the head of the Department of new developments automaker Tony Harper reports Auto Express.
“We are not going to limit our future cars with the functions of the drone able to move on asphalt. We want the system continued to help the driver even when he swerves off the road,” said Harper.
The British will develop a new technology that will be able to drive on the roads “better man.” The equipment complex will include cameras, ultrasonic sensors and LIDAR optical range finder that will scan the surrounding space, and to determine the exact characteristics of the road surface at a distance of up to five meters.
Depending on the nature of the coating electronics can automatically optimize the settings for a signature all-wheel drive system Terrain Response. In addition, the technology will set the optimum speed of the car in case of detection on the path of the ditch or Ford. In addition, the sensors will scan the space above the car and the driver will receive a warning if the system detects too low branches of trees.
Finally, the SUVs will be equipped with wireless functionality Off-Road Connected Convoy. In front of the host vehicle can pass the vehicle from behind the data on the slip and articulation of the wheels, as well as information about the best ground clearance on the upcoming plot.
According to preliminary data, the new automated travel on the road will debut on the SUV Range Rover and Range Rover Sport of the next generation, which will appear in a few years.
In the summer of 2015, the Alliance JLR showed a conceptual system remote control car which allows you to rotate the steering wheel to accelerate and brake using the application on the smartphone. It is assumed that this function will help to overcome a particularly difficult off-road areas, as the driver can be outside the machine and to determine the height or angle of the obstacles.
