Jaguar Land Rover Unveils Electric City Project Vector Car (Photos)

Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a new concept vehicle designed to provide autonomous transport in urban environments. Called ‘project vector’, it takes the form of an electric shuttle pod that the UK car maker hopes to put on the road for testing by 2021.

Even though there are some sketchy details about the vehicle but report has it that the vehicle is four meters long with a motor and battery pack built into a flat floor, but JLR won’t reveal the size of the battery or the range of the vehicle. The interior can be adjusted for private or shared use as well as for last-mile delivery service.

The shuttle is an autonomy-ready rather than fully self-driving, reflecting the need for a human driver to be on board during the pilot period. It forms part of Jaguar Land Rover‘s ‘destination zero’ mission, an ambition to achieve a future of zero emissions, zero accidents and zero congestion.

Unlike GM and Honda’s recently unveiled Cruise Origin autonomous shuttle, JLR’s concept has a driver’s seat and traditional controls for human use. But the vehicle is built to conform to future use cases in which autonomous vehicles are more prominent.
