'Ghost cars': the sat-nav of the future from Jaguar
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2014 10:14 am'Ghost cars': the sat-nav of the future from Jaguar
The British car company has revealed its “360 Virtual Urban Windscreen”, which uses transparent roof pillars to give the driver an uninterrupted view outside the car.
And on busy urban roads, where looking down at a sat-nav screen can be dangerous, a ghost car could be projected in front of the car for the driver to follow.
The company claims that the technology will keep the driver’s eyes on the road and reduce distraction to reduce the potential for accidents.
The ‘360 Virtual Urban Windscreen’ and ‘Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation’ are part of a suite of new concept technologies that Jaguar Land Rover is developing to Whitley.
A screen would be embedded in the surface of each pillar inside the car and would take a live video feed from cameras covering the angles outside the car usually obscured in the blind spots created by the A, B and C-pillars.
