Jeep is testing new technology in Moab that could allow its vehicles to run trails autonomously, it says, to give its drivers more freedom Over the last decade, countless start-ups have risen and fallen in the pursuit of the dream of developing a vehicle that navigate the road autonomously. Now, Jeep wants to take that challenge one step farther, by taking autonomous technology off the road.
The automaker has revealed that a team of
engineers, led by Neda Cvijetc, the head of AI and autonomous driving at
Stellantis, is working on a special automated system designed specifically for
the Jeep brand.
The system has been installed in two
plug-in hybrid Grand Cherokee 4xes, and is currently being tested at Jeep’s
go-to spot for future technology, Moab, Utah. It says that the technology can
help everyone from drivers attempting their first trail, to seasoned experts.
Of course, it will also help in regular, everyday driving situations, as well.
Unfortunately, Jeep isn’t quite ready yet
to reveal all of the details relating to its new technology. However, it says
that more information will be shared about its autonomous off-roading
technology will be shared in another new video, this summer.
