UK Autodrive partners Jaguar Land Rover, Ford and Tata Motors European Technical Centre (TMETC) successfully demonstrated prototype-connected and autonomous-vehicle technologies. 
As a Jaguar ahead brakes suddenly, a Ford test driver gets a “brake lights ahead” warning, potentially preventing a collision.
The demonstrations marked the culmination of several trials as part of the UK Autodrive project, and represent the first major milestones of the three-year project designed to bring autonomous and connected cars and pods to UK roads.

Technology Detects When It Is Safe to Pass
In the third of three demonstrations, a Jaguar Land Rover showed how a self-driving vehicle could safely pass a slower-moving vehicle, overriding the pass request if it detects a vehicle in the occupant’s blind spot. This technology could
