We publish this week a very interesting piece on Jaguar Land-Rover, with an analysis of the new Jaguar F-Pace and an exclusive interview with JLR’s main lighting expert, Shammika Wickramasinghe. What I retain from the meeting with Shammi, and the night drive, is the enthusiasm of Jaguar’s lighting team, and the lighting innovations on their cars.
Also interesting are Shammi’s thoughts and comments about his vision on lighting.For him, in the future, there will be lots of new things done through the exterior lights of the vehicles. The Interior lighting will also develop significantly in the next 10 years and lighting will no longer just be for sight and visibility, but also for communication with autonomous vehicles. It will become a method of communication as well as a tool to create a safer driving environement not just at night but also during the day. Very exciting ideas, very exciting lights, very exciting cars…very exciting times!
Sincerely yours
DVN President
