Jaguar Land Rover Builds New Lab to Test Autonomous Driving

Jaguar Land Rover is building a new testing facility near its Gaydon headquarters to test its upcoming vehicles for electrical and radio interference. The so-called Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) laboratory will ensure future vehicles meet current and future legislation and quality standards for connectivity and electronics. The new Ranger Rover Sport, which was launched in May, was the first car to undergo bespoke testing at the facility. "The importance of testing our vehicles for electromagnetic compatibility cannot be underestimated. Opening this new testing facility is an important step forward for the business and it will play a crucial role in helping us deliver quality, legal, and customer satisfaction," says Peter Phillips, Senior Manager, Electromagnetics and Compliance at Jaguar Land Rover.
