Jaguar Land Rover is demonstrating its new Range Rover Sport
with autonomous driving technology for the first time at the Horiba test
centre, Nuneaton. It will bring together JLR's portfolio of urban self-driving
technologies.
It is equipped with up to Level-4 self-driving technology,
which means it can drive itself but needs to have a human being behind the
wheel. It can negotiate roundabouts and junctions, and respond to traffic
lights in a simulated urban road network.
JLR had previously demonstrated Level-2 and Level-3
self-driving technology. However, the ultimate in self-driving is Level -5,
where the car can drive itself to a parking location or back to pick up
passengers without help from a human driver.
Many other autonomous and connected vehicle technologies
will also be demonstrated at the Horiba facility, including Emergency Vehicle
Warning, Intersection Collision Warning (ICW) and In-Vehicle Signage (IVS).
Some of these features would require roadside technology boxes to be installed
for relaying real-time driving information as part of a flow of car-to-car
information.
The ICW can warn the driver if a junction has high traffic
and risk of collision. IVS is likely to replace in-car cameras in the near
future since it ensures more reliable data transmission.
The project to bring innovation in autonomous driving
technology and more self-driving cars to British roads is initiated by UK
Autodrive, a public-private consortium.
