Automaker has not given any timeline as to when the technology will be available in its vehicles

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has patented a forecast system that can be equipped in a car to prepare it for varied weather conditions, Autocar reported last week. The system uses a suit of air temperature, pressure, humidity and light sensors as well as local weather information from a GPS connection to make accurate forecast about the weather. Then it enables the vehicle to prepare their interior temperature, drivetrain settings and traction control for upcoming climatic conditions.
