Jaguar Land Rover Ltd. is setting up an "innovation incubator" in Oregon to encourage U.S. start-up companies to develop next-generation software for in-car infotainment systems.
The concept is similar to one launched last December in Detroit by Ford, Magna International and Verizon Telematics.
JLR's program will begin in May and involve several American universities. The carmaker says it will choose about 120 tech start-ups to work with over the next decade. The companies will pitch their ideas to JLR in hope of gaining support and automotive-related technical guidance to commercialize their concepts.
One such project already in development is called Vonsor. It enables drivers to capture live footage from a car's onboard cameras, edit them on the vehicle's touchscreen display and share the result on social media.

Honda Re-Imagines and Re-Engineers the Ridgeline
When Honda announced the first-generation Ridgeline in 2005, it opened the press release describing the vehicle: “The Honda Ridgeline re-defines what a truck can be with its true half-ton bed payload capability, an interior similar to a full-size truck and the exterior length of a compact truck.” And all that said, people simply couldn’t get over the way there is a diagonal piece, a sail-shaped buttress, between the cab and the box.
