Range Rover in The First? | |
Has anyone else noticed the futuristic electric autonomous Range Rover in the new TV series 'The First'?
If I had the money I would be first in the queue to buy one.

Jaguar Land Rover's in-house design team worked with both Hulu and the show's producers Westward Productions to create the car, which will appear in the show mostly in practical form, although some effects have been added in post-production. These features include fully autonomous driving capabilities, an exterior Smart Light Bar that also acts as a 360-degree sensor that enhances the occupant experience by communicating with other vehicles and reading the road surfaces, and an optional steering wheel that can retract into the dashboard.
While the car does resemble the current Range Rover Sport on the outside, its "bold forms and reductive styling create a very aerodynamic version of the current Range Rover Sport," according to Land Rover. The windows are opaque mirrored privacy glass, but can be turned into proper clear glass in seconds. While such technology does exist, we don't know if that will be a practical effect, or another for the CGI guys in post-production.
The car also has coach doors and an intelligent interior that can change shape, density and form, acting as a passive safety system – okay then. Back on earth, the car also has communication, entertainment, and climate control features.
