Executive Director, Product Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover
Qualcomm Technologies is one of many partners showcasing Jaguar Land Rover‑related tech innovations at CES 2018, demonstrating readiness for next‑generation Connected and Autonomous (CAV) technologies.
Gentex
Jaguar Land Rover is working with Gentex to incorporate the HomeLink Connect system into its InControl apps so drivers will be able to control home devices from their vehicle’s infotainment screen. The technology allows the new Jaguar I‑PACE, the brand’s first electric car, to be even more connected to a customers’ world, allowing them to adjust heating systems, turn on home lighting, unlock the front door and more, all from the driver's seat and without picking up their phone.
Gentex is also showcasing the new Full Display Mirror, set to feature in upcoming Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. The system captures video from a rear‑facing camera and streams the feed to the LCD‑integrated mirror, giving drivers an unobstructed, panoramic view behind the vehicle.

CloudCar
Jaguar Land Rover entered into a strategic partnership with CloudCar a year ago. Since then, CloudCar has made progress in developing the next generation of their innovative cloud‑based infotainment solution which will be demonstrated at CES in the latest Range Rover Velar. The futuristic infotainment system uses machine learning and natural language understanding to generate a completely customised experience for the driver.
LISNR
Jaguar Land Rover is committed to the safety of road users and has a range of strategic partners specialising in data security. LISNR, one of Jaguar Land Rover's start‑up portfolio companies, will be at CES demonstrating their data‑over‑audio solution that accomplishes short‑range, secure wireless data transmission across all connected devices. Their use of sound, as the conduit for data transfer, removes any need for traditional connectivity or device pairing. LISNR can be used in offline environments for a variety of functions such as remote app pairing, user authentication, and keyless access.
