The I-Pace is Jaguar's first all-electric SUV, offering 240 miles of range and promising excellent driving dynamics at a cost that undercuts the Tesla Model X by about $10,000. But, as with most Jaguars, the I-Pace is a lot more than its numbers, and indeed stands poised to be one of the best-looking EVs on the market.

Of course, the top hat of sensors that Waymo has applied to make those cars autonomous doesn't do the Jag any visual favors, but it will certainly inject a lot of smarts. Waymo's sensor package includes LiDar, radar and imaging sensors. These, combined with some serious artificial intelligence, will enable fully autonomous behavior for the I-Pace. The resulting mash-up SUVs are destined to enter into service as driverless taxis, much like Waymo's Chrysler Pacificas will later this year.
