Each week, we spotlight a cool innovation recommended by some of the industry's top tech writers. This week's pick is a new way to keep your car clean.
Jaguar Land Rover is testing an in-car ventilation system that uses germ-killing ultraviolet light, said Jake Holmes at CNET. The technology, called UV-C light, would be integrated into "hidden vents and ducts inside your car's dashboard" and would be more effective at sterilizing the cabin air than the ionization systems that exist today. UV-C light has been used in hospitals to sterilize surfaces by neutralizing bacteria and other pathogens, and Jaguar thinks "your car could be doing more to keep you healthy."
