25 Sep September 25, 2017 Jaguar announcing that will offer an electrified powertrain on every model starting from 2020 and unveiling an autonomous concept with a steering wheel that acts as a personal concierge. Jaguar’s Future-Type concept looks a little further into the future. The autonomous vision, which Jaguar says looks ahead to 2040, features a voice-controlled steering wheel. The unique wheel answers your questions, organizes your travel arrangements, and helps you select entertainment options in the car. Drivers can also take the wheel out of the car and command it to order pizza at home. Jaguar says the steering wheel could be the only part of a car people own in the future as the industry moves toward autonomous cars for hire. The automaker calls its intelligent steering wheel “Sayer,” named after Malcolm Sayer, the designer who penned the C-Type, D-Type, and E-Type models of Jaguar. Meantime the E-Type is debuting its first electric version later this year. Based on a 1968 Series 1.5 Roadster, the E-Type Zero features an electric powertrain capable of hitting 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. The vehicle was produced by Jaguar Classic in Warwickshire, United Kingdom. Source: motortrend
