We removed the conventional combustion engine of our Range Rover Evoque and added an electrical drivetrain with four independent electrical motors (1 for every wheel). In addition, we integrated extra sensors, automated steering and computers such that it can drive autonomously. The car now serves as a research and testing platform into vehicle control aspects (torque vectoring) and autonomous driving.
