Jaguar Reveals Connected F-Pace At CES Co-Developed With Intel

Technology is the name of the game at CES 2016 and to that end, Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a special variant of the F-Pace.

This particular F-Pace model has been developed with Intel and has been outfitted with a custom infotainment system and redesigned graphical interface. Thanks to Intel, the car’s systems are able to wirelessly connect to an Intel gateway in a house, allowing the vehicle to communicate with a range of other Intel devices.

One such feature of the F-Pace is that due to its connection with the owner’s house, the car’s temperature can be set to perfectly match that of the house and vice versa. Additionally, the car is able to alert drivers if an important item has been left in the house thanks to small electronic tags. What’s more, the car can be set to alert driver’s when it is turned on if there are another electronic devices switched on in the house, such as TVs, and if there are, they can automatically be turned off.

The British automaker freely admitted to Autocar that it isn’t yet sure which of these systems consumers will want in the coming years. Jaguar believes that by developing such technologies, it can work out what customers will want.

It’s likely that at least some of the functions from the connect F-Pace will find their way into future Jaguar production models.
