Land Rover Invisible Car Technology

Land Rover will be unveiling its new Transparent Bonnet virtual imaging concept at the New York International Motor Show this coming weekend. This new technology is being developed so Land Rovers drivers can now get a digital vision of the terrain ahead by making the front of the car ‘virtually’ invisible. 

Cameras located in the vehicle's grille capture data used to feed a Head-Up Display, effectively creating a 'see-through' view of the terrain through the bonnet and engine bay, breaking new ground in visual driver assistance. The technology, named Transparent Bonnet by its creators, shows how advanced technology will take Land Rover's unrivalled capability to the next level.

The technology enables a driver climbing a steep incline or manoeuvring in a confined space to see an augmented reality view capturing not only the terrain in front of the car but also the angle and position of the front wheels.
