The Jaguar Mark XXI - Bionomic Autonomous Limousine - is a design study focused on autonomous technologies. Among the features are the moving solar panels inspired by humble leaves. It was designed by Coventry graduate Chris Pollard.Jaguar Mark XXI Concept SketchesThe Jaguar Mark XXI - Bionomic Autonomous Limousine - is a concept that investigates the implications of autonomous technology on automotive design in terms of perception, function and aesthetic.As Chris Pollard explains "Autonomous technology is edging its way into the automotive vehicle with such systems as Lexus’s ‘advanced parking guidance.’ These systems seem to be an indication of a trend for the future."
This concept uses autonomous technology as a design opportunity to innovate the function and aesthetic of the automotive vehicle.The exterior design is inspired by the idea of living in symbiosis with nature.
Jaguar Mark XXI Design Sketches Jaguar Mark XXI Concept ModelA large area of the body is covered in photovoltaic panels.Once the vehicle is parked, photovoltaic surfaces rise to face the sun and follow it as the day passes, contributing to recharging the on-board batteries."This means that half of the car is not in the shadow for most of the day and it can harvest the suns energy in an efficient manner. ""The inspiration for this came from the humble leaf.
The aesthetic of the vehicle aims to immediately clarify the synergy between its energy replenishing function and the natural science from which it takes its inspiration.
Jaguar Mark XXI Concept Interior Sketch Jaguar Mark XXI Interior SketchesThe interior is conceived as a place of leisure and luxury. Inward facing seating creates the setting for a sociable living space. Contemporary laid-back seats mixed with ambient lighting, establishes a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere.
