The project of the Center for Advanced Development of Land Rover in the UK seeks to perfect this system obstacle detection and damage the way for future models of autonomous vehicles can navigate interactively and safely with other cars.

In this stage of testing, Jaguar Land Rover evaluate the sensor system with the authorities of the city of Coventry, UK. As background, Volvo developed a similar system with the telecommunications firm Ericsson to detect the presence of ice in a way
