Tata Motors JLR demonstrates all terrain self- driving vehicle
India: Tata
Motors owned, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has demonstrated a range of innovative
research technology, which would allow the future autonomous cars over any
terrain or surface. This multimillion-dollar project of autonomous car
technology aims to make the self-driving car viable in the widest range of real
life, on-and off-road driving environments and weather conditions.
The research team of Jaguar Land Rover is
developing next-generation sensing technologies which is considered as the eyes
of the future autonomous car. As the sensors are always active and are more
prompt than drivers, this advance sensing technology will eventually give a
vehicle high levels of artificial intelligence required to think for itself and
decide about the routes and path it should take for driving on any surface.
Furthermore, surface identification and 3D
path sensing research combines technologies such as camera, ultrasonic, RADAR
and LIDAR sensors to enable the car with a 360-degree view capacity of the surface
around it. These sensors will enable car to determine surface features, expanding
to the width of a tire, even in rain and falling snow, to plan its path.
According to a recent report published by TechSci Research, “Global
Autonomous Car Technology Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2035 – ADAS, Semi-Autonomous,
Fully-Autonomous”, global autonomous car technology market is
expected to witness a CAGR of over 10% through 2035. The market is currently
dominated by ADAS segment, which is expected to maintain its dominance over the
next twenty years as well. The dominance of this segment can be attributed to
anticipated increase in government regulations pertaining to integration of
ADAS technologies in passenger cars.
TechSci Research
believes that, this would add another height to the self-driving car technology,
as this technology will enable to drive cars on extreme off-road situations.
