The Consumer Electronics Show 2018 in Las Vegas will be the backdrop for Jaguar Land Rover’s announcement about its newest ultra-fast technology.
All future Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles will use the highly advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 820Am Automotive platform. This will allow Jaguar Land Rover vehicles to operate at lightning speeds as well as feature efficient connectivity with limitless in-car entertainment and over-the-air downloads.
Immersive in-vehicle experiences are the goal supported though vibrant displays and graphics throughout the car. The platform also aims to increase vehicle intelligence and awareness which should improve road safety.
Nick Rogers, Executive Director, Product Engineering for Jaguar Land Rover, said: "CES offers a glimpse of Jaguar Land Rover's high-tech future, showcasing technologies that will enhance our customers' experiences. This new exciting relationship with Qualcomm Technologies is a great example. The new Snapdragon 820Am Automotive platform will play an integral role in bringing innovative technology to future cars, improving connectivity, safety and personalisation."
