It uses a type of ultraviolet light\ntechnology, UV-C, like what the medical industry has been using for\nmore than&nbsp;70 years for disinfecting water, filtering air and sterilizing\nsurfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaguar&nbsp;Land Rover plans to integrate it into its cars to help stop bacteria and harmful viruses, known as pathogens, from surviving in the car\u2019s cabin. Jaguar\u2019s system will expose pathogens to UV-C within the air conditioning system and then that will allow clean air to be sent into the cabin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dr Steve Iley, Jaguar&nbsp;Land Rover&nbsp;Chief Medical Officer, the average motorist spends 300 hours per year behind the wheel and there is \u201ca clear opportunity to better utilize cars for administering preventative healthcare.\u201d The company says trials suggest the technology can cut the transmission of four major superbugs by 30 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However\nno further information on a date for when the technology will be integrated in\nthe cars was not included in the announcement has been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019\/03\/27\/jaguar-land-rover-ultraviolet-anti-virus\/?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer_us=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_cs=qeCuP_38THQB0EW30_CXXw\">engadget.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaguar Land Rover invests in tech and its next vehicles will have an innovating technology to fight diseases.
