Jaguar Land Rover Ltd. is investing of £3.7 million ($4.9 million) to further develop autonomous vehicle technologies for off-road driving.
The new program, dubbed Cortex, aims to adapt emerging driver-assist technologies for use on extreme off-road surfaces and weather conditions. This includes uneven and undulating terrain, dirt, crevices, standing water, heavy rain, ice, snow and fog, according to the carmaker.
The carmaker, which is working with England’s University of Birmingham on the new program, demonstrated early prototypes of the off-road system in mid-2016.
JLR’s Land Rover and Jaguar units also are testing self-driving vehicles on public roads in the U.K. Earlier this year, Jaguar announced a contract to supply as many as 20,000 I-Pace electric crossover vehicles to Alphabet Inc. for use in the company’s Waymo self-driving car fleet.
