Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, said on Wednesday it has partnered with Google to integrate the all-electric I-PACE with air quality measuring sensors and Street View mapping technology.

Google and Jaguar Land Rover announced that they have collaborated to rig up an all-electric I-Pace SUV with the equipment required to capture Street View imagery, and deployed the car in Dublin, Ireland.

The I-PACE is the first all-electric Google vehicle and will be used to measure street-by-street air quality in Dublin including nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide emissions, and fine particles. It will also help update Google Maps.

“We’re always looking for opportunities to improve our fleet of vehicles and there is the potential to increase our EV fleet size in the future, but no updates to share at this time,” a spokesperson for Google said.

The Jaguar I-PACE, which offers zero tailpipe-emissions driving, has been equipped with specialised mobile air sensors developed by Aclima and launched in Dublin to capture data over the next 12 months.  JLR engineers worked to integrate Google Street View technology into the vehicle, including new roof mountings for the Street View camera, and new rear-window glass which allows for wiring and redesigned interior switchgear to incorporate Google Street View controls.
