  • The intelligent car will have its own on-board ‘Smart Assistant’ to carry out a host of functions to allow the driver to concentrate on driving
  • The ground-breaking system will minimise driver distraction to reduce the potential for accidents – with an eventual goal of zero accidents
  • New state-of-the-art software recognises the driver and learns their preferences. It can then predict their routine and changing preferences based on variables such as the weather and their schedule for the day
  • The ‘Smart Assistant’ will check your calendar in advance and remind you to take your child’s sports kit to sports day
  • The self-learning car will learn an individual’s driving style and apply them when Auto Adaptive Cruise Control (AACC) is engaged

2015 Land Rover LR4 / Discovery brings more luxury & InControl – is this the last split branded Land Rover?

Whenever a vehicle generation is getting to the end it’s life there always seem to be a flourish of upgrades and additions that we hadn’t seen before.  It’s sad to see it go but the person buying this new year model should be very happy.

While this probably isn’t the last LR4, we’re going to be at the point soon where there won’t be any split branding between the US and the rest of the world, I for one can’t wait!

Land Rover InControl in Action! Video demo of the actual apps!

Some screenshots:

InControl app listing from within the iPhone app

Within the video, they go from an app to the cellphone interface which looks exactly as it does on a pre-InControl vehicle.  I think I wrongly assumed with InControl the entire system would be getting an interface overhaul but that may not be the case, yet.

Here’s a look at the Winston app they’re very keen on, it’s will read aloud the items coming in through various feeds.

and finally the cityseeker app for nearby attractions, restaurants, lodging, etc…

Where did this come from!? MY2015 Range Rover Evoque Autobiography

2015 Range Rover Evoque Autobiography (11)

Interesting news release today with top-of-the-line Autobiography spec being added for the Range Rover Evoque.  Further still, these type of packages usually don’t make it over to the US market but this PR was released by both LR UK & US.  All the talk of a higher-performance Evoque might be realized in the Autobiography Dynamic which now includes a 45HP upgrade.  They tweaked the front grille, it will be interesting to see if that rolls out across the line or if it’s Autobiography specific.

This is also the first real mention of the InControl system in a production vehicle.
