Were these not running round Schipol airport's vast car parks a few years back?
Yes. The Schiphol airport shuttle is ground zero for autonomous transportation. It reigned supreme "a few years back" -- and it remains so today.
There's nothing new regarding the race to Level 5 autonomy. At least not in the world's largest automotive-producing nations.
Nothing has come from the hundreds of billions of dollars invested in seemingly innumerable startups and acquisitions in autonomous transport. Nothing is happening in China, Phoenix, or San Francisco.
Each morning we rise and cast our gaze toward the seat of the former Batavian Republic.
Dank je and have a nice day
Typical me being someone who fixates on very tiny details of things, I can't help but notice something. Those pedals. They look almost identical to those on a Logitech G27/G29 Racing Wheel. Has Jaguar literally just borrowed one of them to put as placeholder pedals in this concept? xD!

it looks perfectly symmetrical.
Put a steering wheel at both ends and the possibilities are endless
I think the real question is why a truly autonomous vehicle needs a steering wheel at all.Put a steering wheel at both ends and the possibilities are endless
Does look better than the majority of pods, I have to say.
They put horns on them but the birds reaslised that it would still stop regardless.
They have moved the testing to Arizona now
Project Director Dr Tim Leverton has suggested how these make "Connected Urban Mobility systems necessary and inevitable."
A Jag full of CUM. Clearly targeting taking market share from Mercedes then.
It’s an interesting step forward and one that makes a lot of sense. It’s interesting that while Tesla is gunning for child appeal via weird 80s homages called CyberTruck, Jaguar have gone for the Dr Doolittle ‘pushmepullyou’ angle.
It’s a shape that is certainly going to mess with other drivers and make some drivers really very upset.

This is brilliant, really good to see. Let's be honest, in cities etc all we need is a means of getting from A to B.
We don't need 500hp, power oversteer monsters but cheap, practical, clean and hopefully reliable transport to ferry us about in the rain etc.
Need or want? AI is going to take over many of the current jobs that require people to move and many others can be done remotely.We don't need 500hp, power oversteer monsters but cheap, practical, clean and hopefully reliable transport to ferry us about in the rain etc.
