JAGUAR LAND ROVER DEVELOPS CONTACTLESS TOUCHSCREEN TO HELP FIGHT BACTERIA AND VIRUSES

-



Jaguar Land Rover develops a contactless touchscreen technology to keep drivers’ eyes on the road and reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses in a post-COVID-19 world.


How it works

The patented technology, known as ‛predictive touch’, uses artificial intelligence and sensors to predict a user’s intended target on the touchscreen – whether that’s satellite navigation, temperature controls or entertainment settings – without touching a button. 


The technology uses artificial intelligence to determine the item the user intends to select on the screen early in the pointing task, speeding up the interaction. A gesture tracker uses vision-based or radio frequency-based sensors, which are increasingly common in consumer electronics, to combine contextual information such as user profile, interface design and environmental conditions with data available from other sensors, such as an eye-gaze tracker, to infer the user’s intent in real-time. 


The pioneering system, developed with engineers at the University of Cambridge, is part of Jaguar Land Rover’s Destination Zero vision (a desire to make its vehicles safer and the environment cleaner and healthier. )


Jaguar Land Rover vehicles are already designed to help improve passenger wellbeing, with innovations including a Driver Condition Monitor, engine noise cancellation and cabin air ionisation with PM2.5 filtration to capture ultrafine particles and allergens. The new ‛predictive touch’ technology also will be a part of them.


Practicality

Lab-tests and on-road trials showed the predictive touch technology could reduce a driver’s touchscreen interaction effort and time by up to 50%, as well as limiting the spread of bacteria and viruses. 

Uneven or poor road surfaces can often cause vibrations that make it difficult to select the correct button on a touchscreen. This means drivers must take their attention away from the road, increasing the risk of an accident.


According to JLR, the technology can be easily incorporated into existing touchscreens but, currently, there is no intention to upgrade current production models with this technology.

The Mini Brabus G-Wagon

The mini G wagon that you can swing with your bare hands. You can't do that with a real G-wagon cause of its weight & size. The mini wagon looks the same as the original until you see a real G-wagon. This appears like a scaled Brabus G-wagon with comparing to the real one. This is a Suzuki Jimny. Every part that you can see on Brabus G-wagon is also available in this mini copy, but scaled. The most reason why this mini Brabus G-wagon is fake is that Brabus doesn't tune Suzuki s. The Brabus logo on the mini one looks similar but has a little difference with the real one. And it has identical front indicator lights too. The headlights also mostly similar to the original. Even the rear taillights are designed similarly to the original. The rear carbon fibre wing also looks similar to the original. One cooler thing about this is that the exhaust pipes are also at the sides of the vehicle, making it's closely similar to the real G-wagon. The craziest thing that can be found

Image
  The Hyperion XP-1   This hydrogen-electric hypercar can do 60 mph (96 kmph) in just under 2.2 seconds. The top speed is measured to be above 221 mph (356 kph). After months of teasers, the debut is here. The hydrogen fuel cell module generates electric power and there's a three-speed transmission & this is a 4WD vehicle that has a 1,016-mile (1,635-kilometer) range.  The design is highly focused on weight saving & aerodynamics. The XP-1 has a carbon-titanium monocoque chassis with a titanium-reinforced composting bodywork. The vehicle also stores its hydrogen in carbon fibre tanks. These innovations give it a kerb weight below 2,275 pounds (1,248 kilograms). The most amazing feature of this XP-1 is its flying buttresses that run behind the doors. These pieces serve two purposes.  They are active aerodynamic elements that improve high-speed cornering. Also, they function as solar panels capable of changing positions to follow the trajectory of the sun. The doors of the XP

Lamborghini's most powerful and road illegal Hypercar: Essenza SCV12

-
Image
Lamborghini's Essenza SCV12 hypercar has the most powerful V12 engine of Lamborghini. Also the  Essenza SCV12  cannot be driven on public roads and will be even more exclusive, with just 40 products to be built. This Lamborghini is especilly developed for the track sports. This can also be considered as a perfomance based vehicle of Lamborghini. Design The design features a number of hexagonal elements & slightly inspired from the Aventador with more mechanical, aerodynamic and chassis upgrades. This also features a Y-shaped carbon structure that divides the driver and passenger seats. This car also has carbonfibre racing seats and red door pull straps instead of  handles to save weight. The design of the aerodynamic package is inspired from Lamborghini’s Huracán GT3 racer. This aerodynamic package including SCV12’s large, adjustable rear spoiler, the hypercar can generate 1200kg of downforce at 155mph. Engine & Technology The engine is a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre wh
