This Is In The,

'what a neat idea' department,

how often have you been driving in town and your view obstructed by the door pillar and nearly or indeed did miss seeing a pedestrian or cyclist? more than once I would guess, but with this neat idea from Jaguar Land Rover, this may be a thing of the past, this 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen could be coming to to your Jaguar or Land Rover as the case may be, this futuristic system of remote blind-spot cameras and pillar-mounted screens provides drivers with unobstructed views of the road both ahead and, with every glance over the shoulder, behind,

check out this short official video from Jaguar Land Rover to see the system in action, the 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen is no one-trick pony, either, the system features a head-up display that gives a virtual “halo” to other vehicles and pedestrians in the driver's field of view, the HUD works in harmony with Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation, which projects the translucent image of a virtual car ahead of the driver, on-screen prompts advise the driver to “follow me” and turn right or left on the way to their planned destination, although still in the experimental stage the sad news is that as of yet there is no news of when the Urban Windscreen will be fitted to production cars, but I still have to say it, what a neat idea.
