Tata Motors Ltd.'s Jaguar Land Rover unit and Intel Corp. have agreed to co-develop vehicle infotainment technologies at the new R&D center JLR will open next year in Portland, Ore.
JLR is opening the West Coast facility to help it collaborate with tech partners in Silicon Valley and Seattle on in-car features and dedicated software for future Jaguar and Land Rover models.
The automaker and Intel say they have already begun work on next-generation in-vehicle prototype cockpits that connect the car, consumer devices and the cloud.
The Portland facility will employ 30, including 16 software engineers. The U.S. team will work with JLR infotainment experts at the company's product center in the U.K.
The Portland team also will contribute to JLR's research into electrification, connected cars and human-machine interfaces at the National Automotive Innovation Campus (NAIC) at the University of Warwick in the U.K. when it opens in 2016.
