Aimed at developing autonomous driving systems for JLR’s next generation of vehicles, the facilities are located in Munich, Madrid, and Bologna in Italy.
The tech hubs are part of the automotive firm’s multi-year partnership with AI and computing specialist Nvidia. Under the partnership, JLR engineers are working to develop and deliver next-generation automated driving systems and digital services.
Teams based at the new tech hubs have expertise in areas including systems and features, software, verification and validation, and hardware.
The facilities add to existing JLR tech hubs in Portland in the US, Budapest, Shannon in Ireland, Shanghai, Bengaluru in India, and Manchester. The hubs employ more than 1,100 engineers, providing services and feeding data into JLR’s Advanced Product Creation Centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire.
“We are harnessing talent in autonomous technologies around the world to develop new autonomous technologies for our future products, which will deliver a truly modern luxury experience for our clients,” said Thomas Müller, product engineering director at JLR.
“Software is essential for us to deliver a fully connected experience for our clients, and creating global engineering hubs will enable seamless hybrid working across several locations and ensure we harness the best talent for our business.”
