This is some serious tech from Jaguar.

I wonder how useful is the ghost car display.But still looks cool

Amazing tech and much needed one I would say for today's design where the pillars are getting thicker at times and becoming a major blind spot.

I have always wondered why no car manufacturer thought about this idea and finally we see it in a Jag

Very similar to the Land Rover "Transparent Bonnet" that SS-Traveller had posted about earlier this year :

I do have the same reservations about this as i had raised in that thread.

The follow-me idea is great though - but also extremely dangerous because it can drive through pedestrian crossings, red lights and even people without doing any damage - but you dare not follow!
