The two companies will work together on the design and engineering aspects of the autonomous I-Pace. The cars will be equipped with self-driving technologies developed by Waymo (formerly Google self-driving car project). The first test cars are expected to be out on the streets later this year. The companies plan to build up to 20,000 I-Pace self-driving cars during the first 2 years of production.

Waymo currently has a fleet of fully self-driving cars. The company plans to launch its first commercial self-driving transportation service later this year wherein riders will be able to request a vehicle by using a smartphone app.

Meanwhile, the Jaguar I-Pace was unveiled in its final production form on March 1, 2018. It is Jaguar's first battery-electric SUV and is powered by 2 electric motors and a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery. The electric motors produce 389 BHP combined and a peak torque of 696 Nm. Jaguar claims that the I-Pace can travel 480 km on a single charge.

Quote:

The British firm has partnered with technology companies such as Cisco, Seagate, Renovo, and Red Hat to develop a 8-mile private road testing facility for driverless cars called The Future Mobility Campus Ireland (FMCI) in Shannon Free Zone business park, near Limerick.

Equipped with sensors, location systems, smart junctions and connected roads, the campus will function as a testing ground for “autonomous, connected, electrified and shared technology”, utilising self-driving versions of Jaguar’s I-Pace electric SUV. The facility will be completed in September 2021, but testing will begin in February.
