Michael Curmi (Brand Experience Director at Jaguar Land Rover) stated, “We are thrilled to partner with Hulu in this fantastic series.” “With the show being set in the near future it was an exciting challenge for us to work with Westward Productions & Hulu to create the vision of what Range Rover Sport could look like in 2030s, and have it featured throughout this series.”

Jaguar Land Rover’s inhouse design team collaborated with Hulu as well as Westward Productions’ producers to create the car. Although the car will be shown in a practical form, some effects were added in post-production. The features include fully autonomous driving capabilities and an exterior Smart Light Bar which acts as a 360 degree sensor to enhance the occupant experience. There is also an optional steering wheel that can be retracted into the dashboard.

The car looks very similar to the Range Rover Sport, but its “bold forms” and minimalist styling make it more aerodynamic than the current Range Rover Sport. Land Rover says. These windows can be transformed into clear glass quickly by using mirrored privacy glass. Although such technology exists, we are not sure if it will have any practical effects or if it will be used by the CGI guys post-production.

It also features coach doors and an intelligent interior, which can change shape, density, and form. This acts as a passive safety device – okay,. The car has climate control, communication and entertainment features.
