		</div><p>Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has launched a “brave and innovative” self-driving electric vehicle.</p>
<p>The manufacturer described its Project Vector concept as “an advanced, flexible, multi-use electric vehicle that is autonomy-ready”.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The pod was unveiled at the National Automotive Innovation Centre in Coventry, which was opened by the Prince of Wales on Tuesday.</p>
<p>It will be trialled on the city’s roads next year in collaboration with Coventry City Council and West Midlands Combined Authority.</p>

<p>Development of the vehicle is part of JLR’s Destination Zero initiative – which focuses on eliminating emissions, accidents and congestion from our roads.</p>
<p>JLR chief executive Sir Ralf Speth said: “Project Vector shows Jaguar Land Rover as a leader in innovation to make our societies safer and healthier, and the environment cleaner.</p>
<p>“Through this project, we are collaborating with the brightest minds in academia, supply chain and digital services, to create connected, integrated mobility systems – the fundamental building blocks for Destination Zero.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>“Project Vector is precisely the brave and innovative leap forward needed to deliver on our mission.”</p>
<p>The pod is designed for city driving, measuring just four metres long.</p>
<p>All its battery and drivetrain components are built into the floor, allowing maximum flexibility for the space above.</p>
<p>Seating can be configured for private or shared use, or the vehicle can be used for commercial activities such as last mile deliveries.</p>
<p>Project director Dr Tim Leverton said: “The megatrends of urbanisation and digitalisation make connected urban mobility systems necessary and inevitable.</p>
<p>“Shared and private vehicles will share spaces with and be connected to public transit networks, so you can travel on demand and autonomously.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>“Future urban travel will be a composite of owned and shared vehicles, access to ride hailing, and on-demand services, as well as public transport.</p>
<p>“Our vision shows the vehicle as a flexible part of the urban mobility network that can be adapted for different purposes.”</p>
